A. In addition to remedies available to the WRA set forth elsewhere in this chapter, if the WRA is fined by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for violations of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the WRF, or for violations of water quality standards as the result of a discharge of pollutants by an identifiable user, the fine, and all legal, sampling, analytical testing costs and any other related costs, shall be charged to the responsible user. Such charge shall be in addition to any other remedies the WRA may have under this chapter at law or in equity.
B. If the discharge from any user results in a deposit, obstruction, damage or other impairment to the POTW, the user shall become liable to the City and/or the WRA for any expense, loss, or damage caused by the violations or discharge. The WRA may add to the user's charges and fees the costs incurred by the WRA and by the City for any cleaning, repair, or replacement work caused by the violations or discharge.
C. The remedies provided in this chapter shall not be exclusive, and the WRA may seek whatever other remedies are authorized by statute, at law or in equity against any persons violating this chapter.
D. In addition to any other remedies provided in this chapter, the City and/or the WRA may initiate an action, either in law or in equity, to obtain an injunction against further violations of this chapter and for judgment for all costs incurred by the City and/or the WRA occasioned by the user's violation of any requirements of this chapter.
