§ 40-689. Accidental discharge of prohibited wastewater.

Any person who accidentally discharges into the utility sewerage system wastes or wastewater prohibited under this article shall immediately report such a discharge to the director and the MMSD. Such report shall describe the location, time and volume of the discharge, and the type of waste or wastewater discharged. Within 15 days of such discharge, a detailed written statement describing the cause of the discharge and the measure taken to prevent a future occurrence shall be submitted to the director and the MMSD. Such reporting shall not relieve the person causing the accidental discharge from any penalties imposed by this article. Where the director or MMSD deems necessary, industrial users shall provide facilities to prevent accidental discharges or spills of wastes or wastewater prohibited under this article.
