(a) Except for failure to pay bills directed to the account address and situations that pose an immediate health risk, the town shall serve a written notice to any person allegedly violating any provision of this chapter. The notice shall state the specific nature of the violation and provide the person not less than fifteen (15) days to correct the violation or inquire regarding the notice, and, if the person feels he is not in violation, or that compliance requires greater than fifteen (15) days, request a hearing before the town manager. If the person does not respond within the time prescribed in the notice, the town may immediately discontinue service to this person upon the expiration of the prescribed time.
(b) If the person allegedly in violation of a provision of this chapter, requests a hearing before the town manager, the town manager shall, within five (5) days of such person's claim, establish the time and place for such hearing. If, as a result of the hearing, the town manager determines that the person is in violation of the provision as alleged in the notice, he shall order the person to correct the condition giving rise to the violation and establish a reasonable time for compliance. If the town manager cannot, at the hearing, determine the existence or extent of the alleged violation, he may allow continued service upon conditions that will allow for further investigation and final determination of the alleged violation, or he may order the suspension of services.
