A.
Notification of discharge. A user of the sewage system
shall notify the Village immediately upon accidentally discharging
wastes in violation of this chapter. This notification shall be made
within 15 days upon such discharge by a detailed written statement
describing the causes of the accidental discharge and the measures
taken to prevent future occurrences. Such notification will not relieve
users of liability for any expense, loss or damage, including but
not limited to the sewer system, treatment plant or treatment processor,
for any fines imposed on the Village under applicable state and federal
regulations.
B.
Submission of detailed plans shall be required by
industries upon entering the Village of Clyde sewer system, and such
plans must detail all facilities and operating procedures. Such plans
should pin point any indirect connections or entry points to the sewer
system. This is to provide protection from accidental discharge of
deleterious materials or wastes regulated by this chapter.
C.
Cancellation of permit. Any permit issued pursuant
to this chapter shall be subject to cancellation after a hearing in
the event of a finding by the Sewer Commission at such hearing that
the user or holder of a permit of the sewerage system has violated
any of the provisions of this chapter. Such hearing shall take place
on 10 days' written notice to the holder of a permit or user. Upon
any cancellation provided for in this section or otherwise in this
article, the Sewer Commission may terminate the use of the sewer by
severing the connection to the sewerage system.
D.
Injunction; money damages. Any person violating any
provision of this chapter shall be responsible in money damages for
all harm and damages whatsoever, and including but not limited to
any injury to the sewer system or expense caused to the Commission
by such violation. This money may be collected by civil action in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Obedience of this chapter
may also be enforced by injunction or other legal or equitable relief.
E.
The Village is authorized to issue an order to cease
and desist and direct those persons not complying with such prohibitions,
limit requirements or provisions of this chapter or the wastewater
discharge permit to:
Any person violating any provisions of this
chapter and interfering with, entering or using said sewerage system
without obtaining permission hereunder shall be guilty or an offense
and subject to a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100. When
a violation of this chapter or any of the provisions thereof is continuous,
each 24 hours thereof shall constitute a separate distinct and additional
violation.
