Where the Public Works Director finds that a customer has violated,
or continues to violate, any provision of these regulations, or order
issued hereunder, the Public Works Director may serve upon that customer
a written notice of violation. Within 30 days of the receipt of this
notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory
correction and prevention thereof, to include specific actions, shall
be submitted by the customer to the Public Works Director. Submission
of this plan in no way shall relieve the customer of liability for
any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of
violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the
Public Works Director to take any emergency action or other enforcement
action without first issuing a notice of violation.
If any person, after proper order or direction from the Public
Works Director, shall fail to take the remedial steps or perform the
acts required by the above Sections or these regulations, the Public
Works Director may disconnect water service. The Town may collect
the cost of such disconnection or other act from the person responsible
for or willfully concerned in such violation. If the Town shall be
so required to act, such water service shall not again be connected
to water service until such cost shall have been paid.
The Town, acting by the WSA, may recover reasonable attorneys'
fees, court costs, the cost of any actual damages incurred by the
Town and other expenses related to the enforcement of these regulations
including sampling and monitoring expenses at the same rate and in
the same manner as provided by the CGS for the enforcement of real
property taxes.
Any person aggrieved by any action of the WSA may, after exhausting
the administrative appeals herein, within 60 days of disposition of
appeal, bring an appeal to the Superior Court, Judicial District of
Danbury.
