Sec. 86-42Penalties for violation of division
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers Ashburn's city-run water, sewer and natural gas service. It sets the rules on connection permits, deposits, meters, late penalties and shutoffs, disputing a bill, and the city's right to come on your property to read meters and fix lines. It also covers outdoor watering hours, what you can and can't put down the sewer, when you have to tie into city sewer, and how the gas system extends lines to new customers. The actual rates and deposit amounts aren't in the code. They're kept on file with the city clerk.
(a) Any person found to be violating any provision of this division, except section 86-36(d), shall be served by the city with written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time limit for its satisfactory correction.

(b) Any person found to be violating any provision of section 86-36(d) shall be punished as provided in section 1-8 of this Code.
