(a) Flooding Liability. Flood from storm water runoff may occasionally occur, which exceeds the capacity of storm drainage facilities. Ada does not imply that property subject to the fees established herein or by Ordinance 95-12 will always be free of storm water flooding or flood damage.
(b) Downspouts and Footer Drains. No person shall have any downspouts or footer drains for the discharge of storm water connected to any sanitary sewer.
(c) Required Connection. All new residential, and commercial construction is required to connect to the storm sewer system. All connections shall conform with Ada’s Construction and Design Standards, and Ordinance 95-12. All storm water generated within a lot must be disposed of within said lot so this water does not become a nuisance for adjacent properties.
(d) Notice of Correction. If after a complaint and/or inspection the Village determines that storm water has become a nuisance for an adjacent property, or for the Village through the improper handling of said water, the Village shall notify the property owner or person in charge of the private property to correct the situation within thirty days. Correction could involve connecting to the storm sewer, paying all fees.
(e) Penalty. Whoever violates any section or provision of this ordinance is guilty of a minor misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a fine of not less than one dollar ($1.00) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) at the discretion of the court. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
