§ 72-6.412. Disconnection of utility service.

(a)

The county building official may shut off or disconnect any or all utility service to any structure or facility or to any electrical conductor or apparatus that is in violation of any state or county law or regulation relating thereto or that endangers the public health, safety or welfare, or the county building official may order this done.

(b)

If the county building official finds that the violation involves an immediate danger to person(s) or properties or to the public health, safety or welfare, the county building official may have the action taken as quickly as he or she deems necessitated by the danger; otherwise the county building official will 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 county building official will post notice of the orders and the action taken, which no person shall remove, tamper with or disobey. The county building official will rescind or modify such action which it becomes proper to do so in view of the danger or violation.
