(A) If any person who violates any provision of this chapter or any permit condition, or who violates any cease and desist order, prohibition, effluent limitation, or pretreatment or toxicity standard, shall be liable civilly to a penalty not to exceed $1,000 for individuals and $5,000 for corporations. Each day in which a violation occurs shall be considered a separate violation. The Water and Sewer Commission or the General Manager of the Sanitation District No. 1 of Campbell and Kenton Counties may assess a penalty of up to $1,000 for each such violation and add the penalty to the user's charges and fees. Such assessment shall be offset against any subsequent penalty otherwise imposed for the same violation. Any such penalty imposed shall not be construed as liquidated damages, and shall accrue in addition to any liability for any consequential damages resulting from a violation for which the penalty is imposed.
(B) Any person violating the provisions of § 50.002 shall be subject to immediate prosecution.
In addition, such persons shall be liable for any expense, loss, or damage occasioned by reason of the violation.
(D) All violations of § 50.103 or the rules and regulations adopted herein are hereby designated as civil offenses and enforced by imposing civil fines as set out in § 33.81 and the Code Enforcement Board shall be and is hereby granted the power to issue remedial orders and impose civil fines to enforce § 50.103 and its rules and regulations.
