If any person shall construct, install, alter or repair any
sewer, building drain, building sewer or connection to any public
sewer of the Town in violation of the requirements of these rules
and regulations, or, having obtained a permit as provided in these
rules and regulations, shall construct, install, alter or repair any
sewer, building drain, building sewer or connection thereto without
having given the Water Pollution Control Authority or its agent adequate
notice, time, opportunity and assistance, during regular working hours,
to inspect such sewer, connection and the work and materials used
thereon, said Water Pollution Control Authority or its agent shall
order or direct the person who constructed, installed, altered or
repaired such sewer, etc., and/or the owner of any property in which
such sewer, etc., may be located or which may be served thereby, or
in whose interest and employ said work was done, to uncover and fully
expose any or all portions of such sewer, etc., and afford said Water
Pollution Control Authority or its agent adequate opportunity to examine
and inspect such sewer, etc., and to secure such records thereof as
may be proper. If such sewer, etc., and the appurtenances thereof
shall be found not to be in full accord with the requirements of these
rules and regulations and the standards established under its provisions,
then said Water Pollution Control Authority or its agent shall order
and direct such person, owner or lessee to make such changes in or
additions to or remove portions of appurtenances of such sewer, etc.,
as may be necessary to ensure that such sewer, etc., will conform
to the requirements of these rules and regulations and of the standards
established under its provisions. All of such work shall be performed
by said person, owner or lessee without delay and without expense
to the Town.
If any person, after proper order or direction from the Water
Pollution Control Authority or its agent, fails to take the remedial
steps or perform the acts required by these rules and regulations
or fails thereafter to use, operate and maintain any connection with
the public sewers of the Town or appurtenances thereof as required
by these rules and regulations, the Water Pollution Control Authority
or its agent and/or facilities, as it may choose, may disconnect the
sewer, etc., which was wrongfully connected, altered, repaired or
used or through which improper wastes were discharged into the public
sewer system of the Town. All expenses incurred in disconnecting the
sewer are to be charged to the owner and paid before reconnecting
said sewer. A new application must be filed with the Authority for
reconnecting the discontinued sewer.
Any person who willfully breaks, damages, destroys or injures
any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the municipal
sewage works shall be subject to the penalties imposed under Section
53a-116 of the Connecticut General Statutes (Revision of 1958), as
amended.
