threatens to cause a condition of contamination, pollution or nuisance,
the Township may discontinue service.

day on which such violation exists for each separate EDU.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this Part
1 shall become liable for any expense, loss, legal or other cost or damage occasioned by reason of such violation in addition to the penalties authorized in the preceding section.
