Notification of violation.
(1) 
Whenever the Superintendent finds that any user has violated or is violating this chapter or any wastewater discharge permit, order, prohibition, limitation, or requirement permitted by this chapter, the Superintendent may serve upon such person a written notice stating the nature of the violation. Within 10 calendar days of the date the Superintendent mails the notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof shall be submitted to the Superintendent by the user. The correction and prevention plan shall include specific actions. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations caused by the user before or after receipt of the notice of violation.
(2) 
Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the Superintendent to take any action or actions, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, before issuing a notice of violation.
B. 
Consent orders.
(1) 
The Superintendent is hereby empowered to enter into consent orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with the user responsible for the noncompliance. Such orders shall include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period also specified by the order. Consent orders shall have the same force and effect as an administrative order.
(2) 
Issuance of a consent order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action or actions against the user.
C. 
Administrative or compliance orders.
(1) 
When the Superintendent finds that a user has violated or continues to violate this chapter or a permit or administrative order issued thereunder, he may issue an administrative order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that, following a specified time period, sewer service shall be discontinued, severed and abated unless the violation is corrected and there is no reoccurrence of the violation. Administrative 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.
(2) 
Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action or actions against the user.
(3) 
The user may, within 15 calendar days of receipt of such order, petition the Superintendent to modify or suspend the order. Such petition shall be in written form and shall be transmitted to the Superintendent by registered mail. The Superintendent shall then:

Modify or suspend the order; or
(c) 
Order the petitioner to show cause in accordance with Subsection I and may as part of the show-cause notice request the user to supply additional information.

Notwithstanding any other section of this chapter, any user who is found to have violated any provision of this chapter, or a wastewater discharge permit or administrative order issued hereunder, shall be fined in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per violation. Each day on which noncompliance shall occur or continue shall be deemed a separate and distinct violation.
(2) 
Unpaid fines and penalties shall, after 30 calendar days, be assessed an additional penalty of 10% of the unpaid balance. Such fines and penalties, if not paid, shall be a lien on the user's property benefitted. All such unpaid fines and penalties shall be added to the next general tax against property.
(3) 
Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action or actions against the user.
(4) 
The user may, within 15 calendar days of notification of the Superintendent's notice of such fine, petition the Superintendent to modify or suspend the order. Such petition shall be in written form and shall be transmitted to the Superintendent by registered mail. The Superintendent shall then:

E. 
Cease and desist orders.
(1) 
When the Superintendent finds that a user has violated or continues to violate this chapter or any permit or administrative order issued hereunder, the Superintendent may issue an administrative order to cease and desist all such violations and direct those persons in noncompliance to:
(a) 
Comply forthwith.
(b) 
Take such appropriate remedial or preventive action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations or terminating the discharge.
(2) 
The user may, within 15 calendar days of the date the Superintendent mails notification of such order, petition the Superintendent to modify or suspend the order. Such petition shall be in written form and shall be transmitted to the Superintendent by registered mail. The Superintendent shall then:

F. 
Emergency suspensions.
(1) 
The Superintendent may immediately suspend a user's discharge, after written notice to the user, whenever such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge, which reasonably appears to present, or cause an imminent or substantial endangerment to the safety or health of persons. The Superintendent may also immediately suspend a user's discharge, after notice and opportunity to respond, that threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW, or which presents, or may present, an endangerment to the environment.
(2) 
Any user notified of a suspension of its discharge shall immediately stop or eliminate its contribution. In the event of a user's failure to immediately comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the Superintendent may take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection. The Superintendent may allow the user to recommence its discharge when the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Superintendent that the period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings in § 355-103G of this chapter are initiated against the user.
(3) 
A user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement, describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence, to the Superintendent prior to the date of any show cause hearing under § 355-103 of this chapter.

(2) 
In determining the amount of civil penalty, the court shall take into account all relative circumstances, including but not limited to the extent of harm caused by the violation, the magnitude and duration, any economic benefit gained through the user's violation, corrective actions by the user, the compliance history of the user, and any other relative factors as justice may require.
(3) 
Such civil penalty may be released or compromised by the Superintendent before the matter has been referred to the Village Attorney, and where such matter has been referred to the Village Attorney, any such penalty may be released or compromised and any action commenced to recover the same may be settled and discontinued by the Village Attorney, with the consent of the Superintendent.
(4) 
The Superintendent may also seek such other action or actions as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation.
(5) 
A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a user.

Each offense shall be a separate and distinct offense, and, in the case of a continuing offense, each day's continuance thereof shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense.
(2) 
Any user who knowingly makes any false statements, representations, or certifications in any application, record, report, plan or other document filed or required to be maintained pursuant to this chapter, or wastewater permit, or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required under this chapter, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 per violation per day or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.

Whenever a user has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this chapter or permit or order issued hereunder, the Superintendent, through counsel, may petition the court, in the name of the Village, for the issuance of a preliminary or permanent injunction or both (as may be appropriate) which restrains the violation of or compels the compliance with any order or determination thereunder by the Superintendent.
E. 
Summary abatement.
(1) 
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of this chapter, whenever the Superintendent finds, after investigation, that any user is causing, engaging in, or maintaining a condition or activity which, in the judgment of the Superintendent, presents an imminent danger to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to the environment, or is likely to result in severe damage to the POTW or the environment, and it therefore appears to be prejudicial to the public interest to allow the condition or activity to go unabated until notice and an opportunity for a hearing can be provided, the Superintendent may, without prior hearing, order such user by notice, in writing wherever practicable or in such other form as practices are intended to be proscribed, to discontinue, abate, or alleviate such condition or activity, and thereupon such person shall immediately discontinue, abate, or alleviate such condition or activity; or where the giving of notice is impracticable, or in the event of a user's failure to comply voluntarily with an emergency order, the Superintendent may take all appropriate action to abate the violating condition. As promptly as possible thereafter, not to exceed 15 calendar days, the Superintendent shall provide the user an opportunity to be heard, in accordance with the provisions of this article.

A signed or verbal payment agreement by and between the Village Clerk's office staff and a property owner or tenant where the terms of the agreement have not been followed by the property owner or tenant.
(c) 
A multifamily dwelling that may contain more than one meter but connects to one Village shutoff and therefore termination of service by the Village for nonpayment of service by one family would adversely affect the other families within that dwelling.
(d) 
Any parcel that has been terminated of water/sewer service by the Village for nonpayment and delinquent water/sewer charges remaining on the account.
(e) 
Any parcel that have been vacated or abandoned with delinquent charges remaining on the account.

The list shall contain the tax parcel number, property owner name, parcel address, delinquent water charge, delinquent sewer charge and fee of $25 per water/sewer account. A parcel may contain more than one water account and the fee of $25 shall be applied to each account of a parcel. As by law, the Village Board may exercise its right to add the delinquent water/sewer accounts and fees to a parcel's real property tax.
A. 
All users have 30 days from the date of mailing in which to pay their bills. If payment has not been received two weeks after that thirty-day period, then a notice of delinquency shall be sent to the property owner and tenant (if applicable) stating that the account is overdue and payable, and if payment is not received by the end of that month then service will be terminated.
B. 
If payment has not been received by the date stated on the first notice, then a final notice shall be mailed stating that the service will be terminated on the date stated unless payment or arrangement for payment is made with the Clerk's office. This notice will state the charges due and a charge of $50 for resumption of service, if service is to be terminated.
C. 
If payment is still not received by the date stated in the final notice, then the Clerk's office shall inform the meter reader that service is to be terminated on this date at this address. No payment is to be accepted by the meter readers when turning off service, and meter readers are directed to inform the resident that only the Clerk's office is allowed to collect payment. When the Clerk has received all charges due and resumption of service is requested, the Clerk's office will inform the meter reader that service is to be resumed.
D. 
If an attempt for payment has been arranged with the Clerk's offices on the delinquent account and the terms of the arrangement are not followed by the delinquent account, then service will be terminated within three days.
E. 
If the delinquent account states that because of children, illness, or being on welfare the bill cannot be paid, the Village Attorney shall be notified and his recommendations shall be followed.
A. 
When a bill is protested by a customer because of the amount, the following steps shall be taken:
(1) 
The Clerk's office shall check for miscalculations or incorrect reading used for calculations.
(2) 
If no miscalculations have occurred then the meter reader shall be notified that the bill is being protested. The meter reader shall complete the following and a report of this investigation shall be submitted to the Clerk's office:
(a) 
Re-read the meter checking the reading for accuracy.
(b) 
Check the meter for any malfunctions.
(c) 
Briefly check for leaks.
(3) 
Based on this report, the Clerk's office shall notify the resident of any internal leaks that may have been detected or if any adjustment is to be made due to miscalculations.

B. 
Any adjustments to accounts, other than for office errors, miscalculation, misreading, or computer error, shall be granted by the Village Board by resolution only.
C. 
In cases of a rupture of waterline beyond the meter or any water usage due to running toilets, faucets, etc., the Village of Perry cannot assume responsibility and therefore no adjustment can be granted.
D. 
Connections from the Village shutoff valve at the curbline to the water meter shall be installed and paid for by the property owner and use a copper supply line under the supervision of the Superintendent of Public Works. In the event of a leak in said supply line from the shutoff valve to the meter, it will be the owner's responsibility within 36 hours after the leak is discovered to repair said line. In the event that the leak is not repaired after 36 hours' written notice, the water supply will be turned off by the Village Water Department.
E. 
All bills under protest are to be paid by the date due. Any balance due as a result of a Village problem shall be credited to the customer's next quarterly billing.

The Superintendent may decline to reissue a permit to any user which has failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any order or previous permit issued hereunder unless such user first files with him a satisfactory bond, payable to the POTW, in a sum not to exceed a value determined by the Superintendent to be necessary to achieve consistent compliance.
The Superintendent may decline to reissue a permit to any user which has failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any order or previous permit issued hereunder, unless the user first submits proof that it has obtained financial assurances sufficient to restore or repair POTW damage caused by its discharge.
The Superintendent is authorized to pay up to $500 for information leading to the discovery of noncompliance by a user. In the event that the information provided results in an administrative fine or civil penalty levied against the user, the Superintendent is authorized to disperse up to 10% of the collected fine or penalty to the informant.
