§ 132-46. Suspension of service.

A. 

The County may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or a user permit when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the County of Shenandoah, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of humans, to the environment, causes interference to the treatment facilities or causes the County of Shenandoah to violate any condition of its VPDES permit.

B. 

Any person notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or the user permit shall immediately stop or eliminate the contribution. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the County of Shenandoah shall take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection and/or the seeking of legal and equitable relief in the circuit court, to prevent or minimize damage to the wastewater treatment facilities or endangerment to any individuals. The County of Shenandoah shall reinstate the user permit and/or the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the County of Shenandoah within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
