(A) Notice to town. Users shall notify the town immediately upon accidentally discharging wastes in violation of this section to enable countermeasures to be taken by the town to minimize damage to the public sewer, treatment facility, treatment processes, and the receiving waters. This notification shall be followed, within five days of the date of occurrence, by a detailed written statement describing the causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrence. The notification will not relieve users of liability for any expense, loss, or damage to the sewer system, treatment plant, or treatment process, or for any fines imposed on the town on account of damage to the sewer system, treatment plant, or treatment process.
(B) Notice to employees. In order that employees of users be informed of town requirements, users shall make available to their employees copies of this article, together with other wastewater information and notices which may be furnished by the town from time to time directed toward more effective water pollution control. A notice shall be furnished and permanently posted on the user's bulletin board advising employees whom to call in case of an accidental discharge in violation of this article.
(C) Preventive measures. Any direct or indirect connection or entry point for persistent or deleterious wastes to the user's plumbing or drainage system should be eliminated. Where that action is impractical or unreasonable, the user shall label appropriately entry points to warn against discharge of wastes in violation of this article.
