The Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the town, the Onondaga County Department of Health, the Onondaga County Department of Drainage and Sanitation or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter all properties for the purposes of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The Superintendent or his representatives shall have no authority to inquire into any processes, including metallurgical, chemical, oil, refining, ceramic, paper or other industries, beyond that point having a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers or waterways, or facilities for waste treatment.
B. 
The Superintendent and other duly authorized employees and contractors of the town, bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter all private properties through which the town holds a duly negotiated easement for the purposes of, but not limited to, inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, repair and maintenance of any portion of the sewage works lying within said easement. All entry and subsequent work, if any, on said easement shall be done in full accordance with the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining to the private property involved.
Whenever the Superintendent finds that any user has violated or is violating this chapter or permit, order, prohibition, limitation or requirement permitted by this chapter, the Superintendent may serve upon such person a written notice stating the nature of the violation. Within 10 calendar days of the date the Superintendent mails the notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof shall be submitted to the Superintendent, by the user. The correction and prevention plan shall include specific actions. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations caused by the user before or after receipt of the notice of violation.
Any person who willfully violates any provision of this chapter or any final determination or administrative order of the Superintendent made in accordance with this article shall be guilty of a Class-A misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of $500 for each offense. Each offense shall be a separate and distinct offense, and, in the case of a continuing offense, each days' continuance thereof shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense.
Whenever a user has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this chapter or permit or order issued hereunder, the Superintendent, through counsel may petition the court, in the name of the Town of Van Buren, for the issuance of a preliminary or permanent injunction or both (as may be appropriate) which restrains the violation of, or compels the compliance with any order or determination thereunder by the Superintendent.
A. 
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of this chapter, whenever the Superintendent finds, after investigation, that any user is causing, engaging in or maintaining a condition or activity which, in the judgment of the Superintendent, presents an imminent danger to the public health, safety or welfare or to the environment or is likely to result in severe damage to the POTW or the environment, and it therefore appears to be prejudicial to the public interest to allow the condition or activity to go unabated until notice and an opportunity for a hearing can be provided, the Superintendent may, without prior hearing, order such user by notice, in writing wherever practicable or in such other form as practices are intended to be proscribed, to discontinue, abate, or alleviate such condition or activity, and thereupon such person shall immediately discontinue, abate or alleviate such condition or activity; or where the giving of notice is impracticable or in the event of a user's failure to comply voluntarily with an emergency order, the Superintendent may take all appropriate action to abate the violating condition. As promptly as possible thereafter, not to exceed 15 calendar days, the Superintendent shall provide the user an opportunity to be heard, in accordance with the provisions of this article.
B. 
If the user is not within the geographic boundaries of the Town of Van Buren the right of summary abatement to discontinue, abate or alleviate conditions or activities shall be those prescribed in the intermunicipal agreement.
C. 
The Superintendent, acting upon the belief that an emergency exists, shall be indemnified against any personal liability that may arise in the performance of his duties to protect the public health, safety or welfare or to preserve the POTW or the environment.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall become liable to the town for any expense, loss or damage occasioned to the town by reason of such violation.
A. 
If there shall be any payments which are due to the Town of Van Buren, or any department or district thereof, pursuant to any article or section of this chapter, which shall remain due and unpaid, in whole or in part, for a period of 20 calendar days from the date of billing by the Town of Van Buren, the same shall constitute a default, and there shall be added to the entire amount of the original bill a penalty equal to 20% of the original bill, and interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance, at the rate of 2% per month, retroactive to the date of the original billing.
B. 
In the event that there are any sewer taxes, assessments, or other service charges which shall have been delinquent for a period of at least 60 calendar days as of October 1 of any year, the Superintendent shall report the names of the defaulting persons to the Town of Van Buren Town Board, the Town of Van Buren Clerk, the Town of Van Buren Tax Assessor, and the Town of Van Buren Supervisor on or before October 1 of the same year. The Town of Van Buren Tax Assessor is hereby directed to add the entire amount of the sewer tax, assessment or other service charge which shall be in default, plus penalty and interest, as provided for in this chapter, to the real property taxes due and owing to Town of Van Buren in the next succeeding year, and the Town of Van Buren Tax Assessor is directed to collect the same in the same manner as real property taxes due and owing to the Town of Van Buren are collected.
C. 
Where charges are delinquent and the violator is not a resident of the Town of Van Buren, or is located outside the geographical boundaries of the Town of Van Buren, or in such instance where no real property taxes are due and owing to the Town of Van Buren, then the Town of Van Buren Attorney is authorized to seek recovery of charges, including punitive damages, in a court of competent jurisdiction or make arrangements with the appropriate county where the user is located to add the amount of the sewer assessment or other charges which shall be in default, plus penalty and interest, as provided for in the law, to the real property taxes due to the county in the next ensuing year.
