Immediate Threat to Public Health.

Any such finding shall be included in the Director's notification to cease usage of said reclaimed water. Should the customer not comply with the stop usage notice, the Department may immediately discontinue service of reclaimed water to the property. All expenses incurred by the Department to discontinue said service and/or any and all damages associated with the use of the reclaimed water shall be borne by the customer and/or property owner.

The notice of violation shall set forth the specific violation, the corrective action to be taken by the customer and/or the property owner, and the period of time by which the customer and/or property owner must correct the violation. Should the customer and/or property owner not correct said violation within the designated period of time, the Department shall discontinue service of reclaimed water to the property until said violation is corrected and all fees associated with the disconnection and/or reconnection of service to said property are paid in full by the customer and/or property owner.
