§ 56.63 NOTIFICATION OF VIOLATIONS; NUISANCES.
   (A)   When the control authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the control authority may serve upon that user a written notice of violation. Within the time limit specified in the notice of violation, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to the control authority. Submission of such a plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the city to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
   (B)   A violation of any provision of this chapter, wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement is hereby declared a public nuisance and shall be corrected or abated as directed by the control authority. If any person discharges sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes into the city's treatment system contrary to this chapter, wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the city attorney shall commence an action for appropriate legal or equitable relief or both in the Circuit Court of Marlboro County.
