The Village may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or a wastewater contribution permit when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the Village, 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 persons or to the environment, causes interference to the POTW treatment plant or causes the Village to violate any condition of its SPDES permit. A forty-eight-hour period shall pass before a suspension or restriction is effective unless an emergency situation arises relating to public health and safety or a significant impairment of the treatment process.
Any person notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or the wastewater contribution 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 Village shall take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW treatment plant system or endangerment to any individuals. The Village shall reinstate the wastewater contribution permit and/or the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the significant industrial user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the Village within 15 days of the date of the occurrence.
If any person discharges sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes into the Village's POTW contrary to the provisions of this Sewer Code, federal or state pretreatment requirements or any order of the Village, the Village's legal counsel may commence an action for appropriate legal and/or equitable relief in the Supreme Court of the State of New York or other court of competent jurisdiction of the matter in question.
The Village may order any significant industrial user who causes or allows an unauthorized discharge to enter the POTW to show cause before the Board of Trustees why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. A notice shall be served on the significant industrial user specifying the time and place of a hearing to be held by the Board of Trustees regarding the violation, the reasons why the action is to be taken, the proposed enforcement action and directing the significant industrial user to show cause before the Board of Trustees why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least 10 days before the hearing. Service may be made on any agent or officer of the corporation.
The Board of Trustees may itself conduct the hearing and take the evidence or may designate any of its members of any officer or employee of the Village to:
A. 
Issue in the name of the Board of Trustees notices of hearings requesting the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relevant to any matter involved in 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 Board of Trustees for action thereon.
At any hearing held pursuant to this Sewer Code, testimony taken must be under oath and recorded stenographically. The transcript, so recorded, will be made available to any member of the public or any party to the hearing upon payment of the usual charges thereof.
After the Board of Trustees has reviewed the evidence, it may issue an order to the significant industrial user responsible for the discharge directing that, following a specified time period, the sewer service be discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices or other related appurtenances shall have been installed on existing treatment facilities and that these devices or other related appurtenances are properly operated. Further orders and directives as are necessary and appropriate may be issued.
