Discharge of water onto a public way is prohibited. No person
shall alter existing conditions as to allow, or cause, the man-made
diversion or backup of water onto a pubic roadway or sidewalk of the
Town, by pump, downspout, swale, grading of land, or any other method,
so as to create a hazard to vehicle or pedestrian travel on such roadway
or sidewalk.
Whoever violates this bylaw shall, within 30 days of receiving
a notice of violation, take any and all corrective actions necessary
to prevent future violations of this bylaw, or submit to the Department
of Public Works a plan of action to prevent future violations of this
bylaw.
As an alternative to criminal prosecution, the Director of Public
Works or any police officer of the Town may elect to enforce this
bylaw by utilizing the noncriminal disposition procedure set forth
in M.G.L., C. 40, § 21D, as may be amended from time to
time. The fine for each noncriminal violation shall be § 300,
and each day or portion of a day on which a violation exists shall
constitute a separate offense.
