In the event of any violation of the Rules and Regulations of
this Authority, and/or any improper and/or unauthorized use of any
portion of the sewer system by any user, then the user shall, in the
discretion of the Authority, be fined for each violation and/or improper
or unauthorized use. Each action constituting a violation and/or improper
or unauthorized use, as well as each property affected by the violation
or improper or unauthorized use, as well as each day that the violation
of improper or unauthorized use exists, shall be counted as separate
violations for the purposes of determining the fine to be imposed.
All fines shall be paid within 15 days from the date that the
violator is notified in writing of the violations charged and the
fine to be imposed. In the event that the violator wishes to contest
the violation and/or the amount of the fine imposed, the violator
must file with the Authority, within 15 days of receipt of notification
of the violation and fine imposed, a written notice stating that the
violation and/or the fine is being contested and requesting a hearing.
The request for hearing shall set forth, in detail, the specific factual
and/or legal basis for the request. If the Authority grants the request
for hearing, a hearing shall thereafter be scheduled before the Authority,
at which time a duly appointed representative of the Authority, as
well as the violator and/or his attorney, may present evidence with
respect to the violation and/or the fine imposed. The fine, if any,
that is imposed by the Authority after the hearing shall be paid within
15 days after the violator receives written notice of the decision
of the Authority.
In the event that the fine is not paid as required by this chapter,

to the property that is the subject of the violation, and may declare
all agreements or contracts between the Authority and the violator
to be null and void and of no force and effect.

the penalties described in other sections of this Code, and to all
other remedies afforded to the Authority by statute, regulation, and/or
judicial decision.
