A. Criminal Penalties. Notwithstanding CVMC 1.20.010, any person who violates any provision of this title or permit condition or who discharges wastewater which adversely affects the wastewater system or facilities or who violates any cease and desist order, prohibition or national pretreatment standard shall be punished, upon conviction, by a fine of not to exceed $10,000 for each day in which such violation occurs, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or both.

B. Injunction/Abatement of Public Nuisance. Whenever a discharge of wastewater is in violation of the provisions of this title or otherwise causes or threatens to cause a condition of contamination, pollution or nuisance, the Director may also cause the City to seek a petition to the superior court for the issuance of a preliminary or permanent injunction or both, or an action to abate a public nuisance, as may be appropriate in restraining the continuances of such discharge.

C. Other Civil Action. Whenever a notice and order or hearing officer’s decision is not complied with, the City Attorney may, at the request of the Director, initiate any appropriate civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such notice and order or decision, including the recovery of any unpaid sewer service charges or civil penalties provided for therein. (Ord. 2466 § 7, 1991).
