(A) Each user shall provide facilities for protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other regulated wastes. Such facilities shall be provided and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans delineating such facilities and detailed operating procedures to provide this protection shall be maintained by the user and available for inspection by the Water and Sewer Commission and the Sanitation District No. 1 at any reasonable time, upon request of the above agencies.
(B) Users shall notify the Water and Sewer Commission and the Sanitation District No. 1 immediately of any discharges into the sewer system or highway spills of wastes which may enter the sewer system in violation of this chapter to enable countermeasures to be taken by the Commission and the Sanitation District No. 1 to minimize damage to the wastewater treatment system or the receiving waters.
(C) This notification shall be followed, within 15 days of the date of occurrence, by a detailed written statement from the user describing the causes of the discharge and the measures being taken to prevent its future occurrence.
(D) Such notification will not relieve users of liability for any consequential expense, loss, or damage to the wastewater treatment system or for any fines or penalties imposed on the Water and Sewer Commission and the Sanitation District No. 1 which result from the violative discharge.
(E) Users shall make available to their employees copies of this chapter together with such other wastewater information and notices which may be furnished by the General Manager from time to time directed toward more effective water pollution control. A notice shall be furnished and permanently posted by the user in a conspicuous place advising employees whom to call in case of any discharge in violation of this chapter.
