(A) The township shall be the strict enforcer of provisions of this chapter.
(B) The township may suspend waste and/or wastewater treatment service when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the township, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons or the environment, causes interference to the sewage works or causes violation of any condition of the NPDES permit.
(C) Any person notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service shall immediately stop or eliminate the non-complying discharge. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the township shall take such steps as deemed necessary including, but not limited to, immediate severance of the service connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the sewage works or endangerment to any individuals. The township shall reinstate the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the non-complying discharge and upon payment to the township of all costs of operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facilities due to the violation. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the township within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
(D) Where it is not possible for a user or prospective user to bring its wastes within the limits prescribed by this chapter and any orders of determination made hereunder, the township may discontinue or deny service to such user or prospective user.
(E) Whenever the township determines that any user has violated or is violating this chapter, or any prohibition, limitation or requirement contained herein, the township may serve upon such person a written notice stating the nature of the violation. Within 30 days of the date of the notice, a plan for the satisfactory correction thereof shall be submitted to the township by the user.
(F) The township shall annually publish in a local newspaper a list of the users with significant violations during the 12 previous months. The notification shall also summarize any enforcement actions taken against the user(s) during the same 12 months.
