In the event the county’s Health Officer determines or, upon reasonable cause, believes that the hazard to life, health or property is so immediate and urgent that time does not permit the giving of notice, the county’s Health Officer shall forthwith cause the public nuisance to be abated or corrected. The work of abatement or correction may be done by employment of a contractor, or by city forces, in the discretion of the responsible official, and he or she may call upon the Department of Public Works or other department of the city to perform the work. The costs thereof shall be a charge upon and paid from the Sewer Fund.
