(A) Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by §§ 53.01 through 53.06 and 53.20 through 53.26 of this chapter. Where necessary, facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner or user’s own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the city for review and approval.
(B) Users shall notify the city immediately upon having a slug or accidental discharge of substances or wastewater in violation of §§ 53.01 through 53.06 and 53.20 through 53.26 of this chapter in order to enable counter-measures to be taken to minimize damage to the sewage works and the receiving waters. The notification will not relieve users of liability for any expense, loss or damage to the sewage works or treatment process, or for any fines imposed on the city on account thereof under any state or federal law. A notice shall be permanently posted on the user’s bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a slug or accidental discharge. Employers shall ensure
that all employees who may cause or discover such a discharge are advised of the emergency notification.
