§ 15A-60. Harmful discharge.

A.

The city may, upon order of the city manager, suspend the wastewater service or revoke a FOG WDP when such suspension or revocation is necessary in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, to the environment, or which causes obstruction to the collection system or causes the city to violate any condition of its permits or federal and/or state regulations.

B.

Any FSE/permittee notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or revocation of a FOG WDP shall immediately stop or eliminate all nonconforming discharges to the public sewer. In the event of a failure of the FSE/permittee to comply with the suspension order, the city manager may take any and all such steps as he deems necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the collection system. The city may reinstate the FOG WDP and/or the wastewater service upon proof of the elimination of the nonconforming discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the FSE/permittee describing the causes of the harmful discharge and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the city manager within fifteen days of the date of occurrence of the discharge.
