Whenever the Superintendent of the Department
of Public Works finds that any person has violated or is violating
these rules and regulations, prohibitions, limitations or requirements
contained herein, he may serve upon such person a written notice stating
the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time, not to
exceed 30 days, for the satisfactory correction thereof.
Any discharge in violation of the substantive
provisions of the rules and regulations or an order of the Atlantic
County Utility Authority shall be considered a public nuisance. If
any person discharges sewerage, industrial wastes or other wastes
into the local sewer in violation of these rules and regulations or
any order of the local Utility, the city may commence an action for
appropriate legal and/or equitable relief in an appropriate court.
In the event that such action is commenced by the local Utility, the
prayer for relief may include a claim for all costs of such action,
including reasonable attorney's fees, and shall be paid by the person
against whom the proceeding has been commenced.
