When the MWPCA or its designated agent finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of these regulations, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the MWPCA or its designated agent may petition the Superior Court Judicial District at Hartford, County of Hartford through the MWPCA's attorney for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order or other requirement imposed by these regulations on activities of the user/owner. The MWPCA or its designated agent may also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for taking any other action against a user/owner.
A. 
A user/owner who has violated or continues to violate any provision of these regulations, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement shall be liable to the Town for a maximum civil penalty of $250 per violation per day in accordance with C.G.S. § 7-148(c)(10)(A). In the case of a monthly or other long-term average discharge limit, penalties shall accrue for each day during the period of the violation.
B. 
The MWPCA or its designated agent may recover reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses associated with enforcement activities, including sampling and monitoring expenses, and the cost of any actual damages incurred by the MWPCA.
C. 
Filing a suit for civil penalties shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for taking any other action against a user/owner.
The remedies provided for in these regulations are not exclusive. The MWPCA or its designated agent may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a noncompliant user.
In addition to other actions available to the MWPCA, the MWPCA may institute criminal prosecution of any person or user, as allowed by state and federal law, for violation of the provisions of these regulations.
