A. Upon a finding by the public works director that a person or building sewer is in violation of the requirements or standards of this chapter, the public works director may order any action necessary to ensure compliance with all provisions with this chapter.

B. Notice of an enforcement order will be served by the public works director in person, in writing to the owner of the sewer building as shown on the Matanuska-Susitna Borough tax roll. In the case of service on an owner who is not found to be occupying the property, certified mail service to the owner shall be given.

C. Suspension of sewer service and/or suspension of a wastewater contribution permit, will be given by the public works director if necessary or desirable to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, or to the environment, or causes interference to the city POTW or causes the city to violate any condition of its NPDES permit.

D. Any person notified for a suspension of the sewer service and/or the wastewater contribution permit must immediately stop or eliminate the contribution. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the city may take steps necessary or desirable, including the immediate severance of the sewer connection. Reinstatement of the sewer service and/or wastewater contribution permit shall require proof, by the user, of the elimination of the discharge in noncompliance.

E. In addition to the other remedies provided in this section, remedies and penalties for violations of this chapter are as provided in WMC Chapter 1.20.

F. Each act or omission in violation of this chapter, and each day in which the act or omission occurs, is a separate violation of this chapter.

G. All remedies for violations of this chapter are cumulative and are in addition to any other existing at law or in equity. (Ord. 13-23(AM) § 13, 2013; Ord. 01-47 § 17, 2001; prior code § 5.25.120)
