(A) The Superintendent may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or wastewater permit of an industrial user whenever such suspension is necessary in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge presenting or causing an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, the city, or the environment.

(B) Any user notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or the wastewater permit shall immediately stop or eliminate its contribution. A hearing will be held within 15 days of the notice of suspension to determine whether the suspension shall be lifted or the user's wastes discharge permit terminated. In the event of a user's failure to immediately comply, voluntarily with the suspension order, the Superintendent shall take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the city, its receiving stream, or endangerment to any individuals. The Superintendent shall allow the user to recommence its discharge when the endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings are initiated against the user.
 
(C) An industrial user which is responsible, in whole or in part, for imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence to the Superintendent prior to the date of the hearing described in division (B).
