The Fayette County Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to get even tougher on water violators. The County Commission decided to codify an ordinance that would outline stiffer penalties for water violators during times of state-mandated water restrictions.
Violators will receive a warning, but after that they'll have to head to State Court if they want to fight the citation. The first offense after the warning carries a $500 fine, while the second violation ups the fine to $750. The third violation results in a $1,000 fine.
