§ 40-2.202. Health officer to disconnect utilities.*
Latest version.
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,
he may shut off or disconnect any or all utility service thereto which contributes
to the violation, or he may order this done. If he finds that the violation involves
an immediate danger to the public health he may have the action taken as quickly as
he deems necessitated by the danger; otherwise he 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 he shall conspicuously post notice
of his orders and the action taken, which no person shall remove, tamper with or disobey.
He shall rescind or modify such action when it becomes proper to do so in view of
the danger or violation.
