(B) A person may avoid liability for payment of the surcharge established in division (A) above upon showing he or she is in compliance with all provisions of § 50.04 (A) and (B), which showing shall consist of the following procedures and conditions as to each building or appurtenance connected to the sanitary sewer:
(1) Each person shall, as to each such building or appurtenance so connected to the sanitary sewer, execute a Grant of Permission to the town to come upon the property and within the premises thereon to inspect and/or perform sewer tests as may be deemed necessary by the town to verify the compliance hereinbefore referred to;
(2) The Grant of Permission as set forth in division (B)(1) above shall be deemed to include periodic inspections and/or tests as may be determined to be necessary to ensure compliance with § 50.04 (A) and (B);
(3) Town employees or designees who make inspections and/or tests required by this chapter shall have on their persons identification to verify that they represent the town for those purposes.
(4) The inspection shall be made upon reasonable notice of at least 48 hours. There shall be no fee charged for the inspections.
(5) If, upon the initial inspection contemplated by division (B)(1) above to verify compliance, a person is found to be not in compliance, the person shall be given 14 days from the date of the inspection to so comply.
(C) In the event a person is found to be in compliance upon the initial inspection contemplated by division (B)(1) above or complies within 14 days as provided in division (B)(5) above, and upon subsequent inspection is found to be not in compliance, the person shall be liable for payment of an amount equal to the sum of the months since adoption of this subchapter, multiplied by the monthly surcharge in effect during the periods as the case may be, provided the liability shall be reduced 50% of the amount if the person complies within ten days after notice of noncompliance. In the event a person is found to be in a state of noncompliance a second or subsequent time, the person shall be liable for a sum equal to $1,000, plus an amount equal to the sum of the months since adoption of this subchapter, multiplied by the monthly surcharge in effect during such periods, as the case may be.
