(a) users shall notify the Director of Water/Sewer immediately upon accidentally discharging wastes in violation of this chapter to enable countermeasures to be taken to minimize damage to the sewage disposal system, treatment processes and the receiving waters. This notification shall be followed, within fifteen 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. Such notification will not relieve users of liability for any fines provided for in Section 925.99, or for any expense, loss or damage to the sewer system, treatment plant, or treatment process, or for any fines imposed on the City on account thereof.
(b) In order that employees of users be informed of City requirements, 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 City 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 chapter. Any direct or indirect connection or entry point for persistent or deleterious wastes to the user's plumbing or drainage system shall be eliminated. Where such action is impractical or unreasonable the user shall appropriately label such entry points to warn against discharge of such wastes in violation of this chapter.
(c) All industrial users whether categorical or non-categorical are required to notify the POTW immediately of any "Slug Loading" being discharged to the sewer system.
