liquids or fluids, milk, grease trap and septic tank wastes, sewage
sludge, sanitary sewer wastes, storm sewer catch-basin wastes, oil

of the Village.
B.
Notification. Spills or accidental release of hazardous

cannot adequately be cleaned up by the responsible party or parties
shall be immediately reported to the law enforcement agency so that

Financial liability. The party or parties responsible
for the release, escape or discharge of wastes may be held financially
liable for the cost of any cleanup or attempted cleanup deemed necessary
or desirable and undertaken by the Village or its designated agent
in an effort to minimize the pollutional effects of the discharged
waste.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation to store any potentially polluting substances unless such
substances are stored in such manner as to securely prevent them from
escaping onto the ground surface and/or into any street, sewer, ditch
or drainageway, lake or stream within the jurisdiction of the Village.
