A. Investigation. The District may enter upon the private property of any Person within the jurisdiction of the District in order to investigate possible violations of an ordinance of the District or to review and/or copy any records required to be kept under the provisions of this Code or other Ordinance. When the General Manager, or his/her/theirdesignee, determines that entry is required, the District will make every attempt to make such entry during normal business hours but may enter upon the property at any hour under emergency circumstances. In such event, the General Manager, or his/her/theirdesignee, shall make effort to immediately notify the Customer or the Customer’s Duly Authorized Representative. The entry shall be made with the consent of the owner or Tenant of the property or, if consent is refused, with a warrant duly issued pursuant to §31016 of the Water Code or the Code of Civil Procedure. If, during the course of an investigation the District discovers an actual violation of any District, City or County ordinance shall notify the appropriate County or other affected agency within a reasonable time.

B. Enforcement. In order to enforce the provisions of any ordinance of the District, including an ordinance fixing charges for the furnishing of commodities or Services, the District may correct any violation of any ordinance of the District pursuant to Water Code §31016 or by any other means permissible pursuant to any other law, statute, or regulation.
