Any violations of the terms and conditions hereby established or failure on the part of any Property Owner or Account Holder to pay any and all claims of the Department within thirty (30) days after they are due and payable shall be considered sufficient cause for shutting off the supply of water to such Property Owner or Account Holder.

Penalties/Fines/Injunctive Relief.

Pursuant to RSA 38:26.II, any person or entity who knowingly or accidentally violates any provisions of this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof may be fined in accordance with the Schedule of Fines established by the Town Administrator with the advice of the Town Council and included in the Town’s Master Fee Schedule.

2.   For the purpose of this ordinance, each day that a violation continues following notice of the violation shall constitute a separate and new offense subject to an increased fine.

3.   The Town Administrator may waive imposition of any fine for good cause shown.

4. Any Property Owner not having control of the property (i.e., a landlord) who is notified of a violation on the property and who does not take responsible steps to immediately correct the violation shall be guilty of violating this ordinance and shall be subject to fines as set forth above.

5.   Any User who violates this Ordinance shall be responsible for any and all fines, penalties, damages and costs, including, but not limited to attorney’s fee and costs, incurred by the Town for violation of federal and state environmental and Drinking Water laws and regulations caused by or relating to that User’s violation of this Ordinance.

Ultimate Responsibility of User.

This Ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the Town, or any officer agent or employee thereof for any damages that may result from any User’s reliance of this Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
Restoration/Remediation/Losses. The Enforcement Authority shall also have right to levy an assessment of costs related to the restoration of affected property, the remediation of non-permitted uses or Discharges and such other quantifiable losses and damages caused by any non-permitted use or Discharge.
Nothing in this Ordinance precludes the Town’s Code Enforcement Officer from exercising concurrent enforcement powers arising from the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Durham as they may relate to the Public Water Systems.

158-12. Advance Payment for Work.

If the Property Owner or his authorized agent requests the Department to do work, he shall be required to make an advance payment, i.e. before any work is begun, of such an amount of money as, in the judgment of the Department, will reimburse the Department for any and all expense incidental thereto for which the Applicant is properly responsible. This regulation shall also apply to installation, repair, and replacement of service piping and Water Meter Assemblies in the event that such replacement or repair is, in the judgment of the Department, due in any way to negligence on the part of the Property Owner. Should the advance payment be insufficient to cover the cost of the installation or should the payment have been in excess, financial adjustment shall be made immediately upon completion of the work.
