A. 
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.
B. 
If the user is not within the geographic boundaries of the Village of Waterloo, the right of summary abatement to discontinue, abate, or alleviate conditions or activities shall be those prescribed in the intermunicipal agreement.
C. 
The Superintendent, acting upon the belief that an emergency exists, shall be indemnified against any personal liability that may arise in the performance of his duties to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, or to preserve the POTW or the environment.
A. 
The Village of Waterloo may enforce the collection of delinquent payments pursuant to § 452 of the General Municipal Law.
B. 
If there shall be any payments which are due to the Village of Waterloo, or any department thereof, pursuant to any article or section of this chapter, which shall remain due and unpaid, in whole or in part, for a period of 15 calendar days from the date of billing by the Village of Waterloo, the same shall constitute a default, and there shall be added to the entire amount of the original bill a penalty equal to 10% of the original bill, and interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance, at the rate of 1% per month, retroactive to the date of the original billing.
C. 
In the event that there are any sewer taxes, assessments, or other service charges which shall have been delinquent for a period of at least 60 calendar days as of May 1 for Village residents of any year, the Superintendent shall report the names of the defaulting persons to the Village of Waterloo Supervisor, the Village of Waterloo Clerk-Treasurer and the Assessor, on or before May 1 of the same year. The Assessor is hereby directed to add the entire amount of the sewer tax, assessment, or other service charge which shall be in default, plus penalty and interest, as provided for in this chapter, to the real property taxes due and owing to the Village of Waterloo in the next succeeding year, and the Assessor is directed to collect the same in the same manner as real property taxes due and owing to the Village of Waterloo are collected.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II)]
D. 
Where charges are delinquent as of December 1 of any year and the violator is not a resident of the Village of Waterloo, or is located outside the geographical boundaries of the Village of Waterloo, then the Village of Waterloo Attorney is authorized to seek recovery of charges, including punitive damages, in a court of competent jurisdiction or make arrangements with the appropriate county where the user is located to add the amount of the sewer assessment or other charges which shall be in default, plus penalty and interest, as provided for in this chapter, to the real property taxes due to the county in the next ensuing year.
The Superintendent may decline to issue or reissue an individual wastewater discharge permit to any user who has failed to pay any outstanding fees, fines or penalties incurred as a result of any provision of this chapter, a previous individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder.
