Additionally, following a twelve-month period of passing FOG test results, the Board can consider a portion of past violation fines which have been paid to be forgiven.

If the appeal is successful, all associated monies paid by User will be refunded.
Any person in violation of the Rules and Regulations of the Teton Village Water and Sewer District shall become liable to the District for any penalty fee, expense, loss, or damage due to the violation.
