§ 9.16.050. Revocation of permit, approval or license  


Latest version.
  • Any new sewer connection or increased usage of an existing sewer connection which has been approved by the council in accordance with section 9.16.040, and any sewer connection to the sewer system violates the terms of this chapter, may be revoked at any time by the council, following a public hearing of which the applicant and fee owner of the structure or real property served by the connection has been given not less than ten days' written notice of said hearing.

    The council may revoke said approval if it determines that:

    A.

    The approved use of the new connection, the approved increased use of an existing sewer connection, or the use of an existing sewer connection to the sewer system violates the terms and conditions under which it was previously approved by the council, or on the case of an existing sewer connection to the sewer system, it violates the terms and conditions of the chapter; or

    B.

    The use of the new connection or increased sewer service, or an existing sewer service, or an existing sewer connection in violation of the terms if this chapter, may subject the city to an enforcement proceeding initiated by the regional board or other authorities of the state or the federal government having jurisdiction over the treatment facility and the sewer system.

    Upon the revocation of said permit, approval or license, the city may terminate sewer service to the property or structure that is served by said service by physically disconnecting that service from the sewer system in a public easement or public right-of-way and ordering that the property or structure previously served by said service be vacated until new sewer service is provided thereto under the provisions of this chapter. The disconnection of the service shall be accomplished in accordance with any other requirements of law or ordinances of the city that govern such action by the city.
