Sec. 12.14.200. - Same—Time limit.
Civil actions pursuant to this chapter may only be commenced within two years after the date on which the infraction occurred, and the standard of proof which is applied is the preponderance of the evidence. The city has satisfied its burden of proof if it shows that an infraction occurred and that the real property upon which the waste of water occurred was owned, occupied or used by the defendant on the date on which the infraction occurred, unless either of these elements is satisfactorily rebutted by the defendant. The defendant may assert any reasonable defenses, and the court may dismiss the notice of the infraction if it finds the defenses are applicable or may reduce the fine if the court finds that the defenses are applicable.
