(a) If a violation of any provision of this chapter, except Section 925.15, is found, a written notice stating the nature of the violation shall be sent by first class mail to the person apparently guilty of the violation. This notice shall be deemed sufficient, in the event of violation, if sent to the address of that person as shown on water account records. The notice shall, in all cases, set forth a time limit during which all noted violation shall cease and be abated, and appropriate corrective action taken, and if the violator does not thus comply, the provisions of subsection (b) hereof shall then apply.
(b) Any person who continues any violation beyond the time limit provided for in subsection (a) hereof shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each violation, or imprisoned not more than thirty days. Each day in which any violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
(c) Whoever violates Section 925.15 shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
(d) Whoever violates any provision of this chapter shall become liable to the Municipality for any expense, loss or damage occasioned the Municipality by reason of such violation, notwithstanding whether such person may have been prosecuted for a violation of any provision of this chapter.
(e) Any person violating State of Ohio and/or federal regulations as a consequence of violating any provision of this chapter shall be subject to any penalties imposed by State and/or federal regulations, irrespective of the provisions of this chapter.
