§ 51.99 PENALTY.

   (A)   Anyone who violates any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is provided shall be subject to the terms of § 10.99.

   (B)   Any willful and knowing refusal to pay fees assessed for solid waste collection services shall subject the offender to a civil penalty in the amount of $50. It is presumed that payment of the total utility bill, minus the amount of the solid waste collection fee, is a willful and knowing refusal to pay.

   (C)   Unpaid accounts for fees or charges under §§ 51.25 through 51.27 may be enforced by appropriate civil actions for the collection of amounts due, or by other appropriate relief.

   (D)   Unpaid solid waste collection fees shall be included in the fees and charges which must be repaid before utility service is resumed in those cases where failure to pay utility charges has resulted in discontinuance of utility service.
