Title 7 PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES
Chapter 7.65 SEWER USE AND PRETREATMENT REGULATIONS*
7.65.220 Compliance orders.
A. When the wastewater manager finds that a discharger has
violated or continues to violate this chapter or any order issued hereunder, he
may issue a compliance order to the discharger responsible for the violation
directing that, following a specified time period, sewer service shall be
discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices or other related
appurtenances have been installed and are properly operated and maintained.
Compliance orders may also contain such other requirements as might be
reasonably necessary and appropriate to address the noncompliance, including the
installation of pretreatment technology, additional self-monitoring and
management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to
the sewer. In establishing the compliance schedule in the compliance order, the
wastewater manager will consider applying to the schedule the conditions
provided in Section 7.65.140(A)(7) of this chapter. A compliance order may not
extend the deadline for compliance established for a federal pretreatment
standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order release the discharger of
liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a
compliance order shall not be a prerequisite to taking any other action against
the discharger.
B. Failure to comply with any terms or requirements of a
compliance order by the discharger shall be an additional and independent basis
for termination of wastewater treatment services or for any other enforcement
action authorized under this chapter and deemed appropriate by the wastewater
manager. (Ord. 2003-74 § 1 (part), 2003).
