A. 
Notification of violation. Whenever the Township Superintendent finds that any person has violated or is violating any of the provisions of this chapter or any of the rules and regulations duly adopted or promulgated hereunder, said Township Superintendent may serve upon such person a written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, for a satisfactory correction thereof, which notice may be served upon the user personally or by certified mail directed to the user, at the last known post office address; and service thereof shall be complete upon mailing.
B. 
If any person who has been given notice of a violation as aforesaid shall fail, neglect or refuse to correct the violation referred to in the notice, within the time stated therein, the Township Superintendent is hereby authorized to file a complaint and prosecute any appropriate action to correct the violation in any manner provided by law and in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that, if such action seeks injunctive relief or involves the expenditure of funds to employ expert witnesses or counsel, the Township Superintendent shall first obtain the consent of the Township Committee.
C. 
Show-cause hearing.
(1) 
If the violation is not corrected by timely compliance, the Township Committee may order any person who causes or allows an unauthorized discharge to show cause before the Township Committee why service should not be terminated. A written notice shall be served on the offending party specifying the time and place of a hearing to be held by the Township Committee regarding the violation and directing the offending party to show cause before the Township Committee why an order should not be made directing the termination of service. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by certified mail at least 10 days before the hearing. Service may be made on any agent or officer of a corporation.
(2) 
The Township Committee may conduct the hearing and take the evidence or may designate any of its members or any office or employee to:
(a) 
Issue, in the name of the Township, notices of hearing requesting the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relevant to any matter involved in any such hearings.
(b) 
Take the evidence.
(c) 
Transmit a report of the evidence and hearing, including transcripts and other evidence, together with recommendations to the Township for action thereon.
(3) 
At any public hearing, testimony taken before the hearing authority or any person designated by it must be under oath and recorded stenographically or electronically. The transcript, so recorded, will be available to any member of the public or any party to the hearing upon payment of the usual charges therefor.
(4) 
After the Township Committee has reviewed the evidence, it may issue an order to the party responsible for the discharge, directing that, following a specified time period, the sewer service be discontinued unless adequate pretreatment facilities, devices or other related appurtenances shall have been installed or existing pretreatment facilities, devices or other related appurtenances are properly operated, and such further orders and directives as are necessary and appropriate.
D. 
Any violation of the provisions of this chapter or any of the rules and regulations duly adopted and promulgated hereunder shall be considered a public nuisance. In addition to other enforcement provided herein, if any person discharges sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes into the Township sewer system, the Township Committee may authorize appropriate proceedings for legal and/or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, and any complaint for this purpose shall include a claim for all costs of such action, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
A. 
All users of the Township sewer system shall be subject to and comply with all duly adopted rules and regulations of the Cumberland County Utilities Authority, including but not limited to such rules and regulations pertaining to connections, charges, admission to property for inspections, flow measurements, sampling or other related purposes, permits, prohibitions, limitations on discharge, pretreatment requirements, reporting, disputes, metering and sampling, enforcement and industrial cost recovery.
B. 
If any action, sentence, clause, phrase or word contained in this Chapter 328 of this Code shall be held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision or invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions or provisions hereof.
Except as provided in § 328-6B, any person who violates any portion of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both, for each offense. Each day on which a violation occurs or continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
