During all conditions except Emergency, the district
will notify customers upon the first observation of waste and give
them reasonable time to correct the problem. If problems are not
corrected, a violation will be issued and a fee will be assessed.
During Emergency conditions, the district may issue a violation
and fee without prior notice. If the customer is unavailable
or refuses to correct the problem, service may be terminated and
a fee will be assessed.
Customers may be given additional time to pursue
corrective action. Those who protest the findings of a water waste
investigation may request an outside hearing.
