Whenever a user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this chapter, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, water service to the user may be severed. Service will only recommence, at the user's expense, after it has satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to comply.
(Ord. 1221 § 1, 1996)
The director may decline to reinstate wastewater service for any industrial user who has had its wastewater services suspended or terminated under the provisions of this chapter unless such industrial user, at the discretion of the director and the city council, either: (1) first files with the city a satisfactory bond, payable to the city, in a sum not to exceed a value determined by the director to be necessary to achieve compliance; or (2) first submits proof that it has obtained financial assurances sufficient to restore or repair POTW damage caused by its discharge.
(Ord. 1221 § 1, 1996)
(1) 
In any enforcement action allowed under this chapter, the director may recommend and the city may agree to set aside all or portions of the recommended penalty amount in lieu of requiring completion of a project of environmental benefit to the POTW of equal or greater value. Such projects must be agreed to by the user.
(2) 
In recommending this option, the director shall consider all relevant circumstances, including, but not limited to, the net environmental benefit, the ability of the project to help achieve or ensure compliance, the willingness of the party to change the circumstances that led to the noncompliance, and the responsible party's technical and financial ability to successfully complete the project.
(3) 
In enforcement actions taken by the Department of Ecology, the city may make written recommendations either for or against an innovative settlement agreement with a noncompliant user based on these same criteria.
(Ord. 1221 § 1, 1996)
