§ 20-224. Penalties.

(a)

Any person who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this article shall be subject to fine up to $750.00 for each offense. A separate violation will be deemed to occur each day that a violation exists that has not been remedied or corrected by the violator.

(b)

There may be times when the village will incur delay or other costs, including third party claims, because the utility will not or cannot perform its duties under its permit and this article. Unless the utility shows that another allocation of the cost of undertaking the requested action is appropriate, the utility shall bear the village's costs of damages and its costs of installing, maintaining, modifying, relocating, or removing the facility that is the subject of the permit. No other administrative agency or commission may review or overrule a permit-related cost apportionment of the village. It shall also constitute an offense for a utility to fail to pay costs so apportioned to it.
