OAKDALE CITY CODE

§ 35-49

  • (2) State the amount of the fee to be imposed.

  • (3) Advise the customer of his appeal rights as provided herein.

The Notice of Intention to Impose a Fee for Water Wasting shall be served in the same manner as the Notice of Ordinance Violation as provided herein.

  • (c) There shall be assessed to the water service customer's account a penalty fee in the sum of fifty dollars for a first violation within one year after being served with the Notice of Ordinance Violation. A second violation within said one year period shall result in a penalty fee of seventy-five dollars; and upon a third such violation within the one year period a penalty fee of one hundred dollars shall be assessed. Any additional violations within the one year period shall be assessed at two hundred dollars each.

  • (d) A water service customer shall have the right to appeal either the Notice of Ordinance Violation or the imposition of any penalty fee assessed to his account for water wasting. The appeal hearing shall be held before the director of public works or his designee, who shall make the final administrative determination regarding the matter. The customer shall be allowed to present such witnesses and evidence as he may desire and may be represented by an attorney or other representative of his choosing. The city may be represented by the city attorney or his designee.

The water service customer must request an appeal hearing in writing within fifteen days from the date of service by the Notice of Ordinance Violation; or in the case of the imposition of a penalty fee, within fifteen days of the service of the Notice of Intention to Impose a Fee for Water Wasting. The request for hearing shall be addressed to the director of public works and shall be deemed served only when received by the city. Failure to properly serve the request for hearing within the fifteen day period shall be deemed a waiver of the right to appeal the matter and the penalty fee will be assessed against the customer's account.

The hearing officer shall give written notice by mail to the water service customer of the date and time of the appeal hearing, which hearing shall be held not sooner than ten days from receipt of the request for hearing and not longer than thirty days. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final. If the violation is upheld, the penalty fee shall be assessed to the customer's account.

  • (e) Any water service customer without a water meter who has been assessed three or more penalty fees within a one year period may be required to install a water meter upon the premises and the customer shall be required to pay the reasonable cost of the water meter and its installation.

  • (f) Failure of any water service customer to pay the penalty fees imposed as provided herein or to pay for the cost of a water meter and its installation as required shall be grounds to discontinue water service until compliance is obtained.

  • (g) The city council does hereby designate the water supervisor, any maintenance worker assigned to the water division of the Oakdale Public Works Department, and any water conservation officers appointed by the director of public works as the persons authorized to investigate violations and to serve any notices required by the provisions of this Article VI.
