Chapter 40-2 — REGULATIONS

Article 40-2.2. Health Officer Cuts Utilities

When the health officer finds a violation of any state or county law or regulation relating to health or sanitation, which violation is related to a structure or facility, the health officer may shut off or disconnect any or all utility service thereto which contributes to the violation, or may order this done. If the health officer finds that the violation involves an immediate danger to the public health the health officer may have

the action taken as quickly as the health officer deems necessitated by the danger; otherwise the health officer shall give ten days advance notice thereof by mail to the utility and to the owner as shown on the last assessment roll and by conspicuous posting on the property; and the health officer shall conspicuously post notice of the health officer's orders and the action taken, which no person shall remove, tamper with or disobey. The health officer shall rescind or modify such action when it becomes proper to do so in view of the danger or violation.
