When the Borough finds that a discharge of wastewater has taken
place in violation of prohibitions or limitations of this chapter
or SCMUA rules and regulations, the Borough may issue an order to

taking place in violation of prohibitions or limitations prescribed
in this chapter or wastewater source control requirements, effluent
limitations or pretreatment standards, the Borough may require the
user to submit for approval, with such modification as it deems necessary,
a detailed time schedule of specific actions which the user shall
take in order to prevent or correct a violation of requirements.
Whenever a discharge of wastewater is in violation of the provisions
of this chapter or otherwise causes or threatens to cause a condition
of contamination, pollution or nuisance, the Borough may discontinue
service and may petition the Superior Court for the issuance of a
preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, as may be appropriate
in restraining the continuance of such discharge.

95-67.

1, General Provisions, Article
II. The Attorney of the Borough, upon order of the Borough, shall petition of the Superior Court to impose, assess, and recover such sums.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall
become liable to the Borough for any expense, loss, legal or other
costs, or damage occasioned the Borough by reason of such violation,

waste discharge into the local collection system in addition to the
penalties as authorized in the preceding section.
In the case of a discharge of wastes which violates §
95-10 of this chapter, all fines shall be the maximum allowed pursuant to this chapter, and compliance with the discharge requirements of this chapter shall be achieved immediately.
