(A) Each property owner and resident of the village shall provide protection from accidental discharge to a sewer system of any wastes prohibited by these regulations. Such required protection shall include, but not limited to, walls or dikes, separate storage, removal of drain lines from locations where significant quantities of prohibited materials are maintained, or other appropriate procedures to assure the prevention of discharge into a sewer system.
(B) (1) Plans for installation of such control facilities or operating procedures shall be submitted to the village for approval prior to construction or at the time such control facilities are found to be necessary by either the property owner or the village.
(2) The review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve any person of responsibility for preventing the discharge of unacceptable materials to a sewer system.
(3) Any person in charge of or responsible for the process, activity or function that causes, generates or produces a prohibited waste shall notify the village immediately upon the accidental loss or discharge into a sewer system of prohibited materials, substances or waste in order to enable countermeasures to be taken to minimize damage to the sewer system and/or the receiving waters. Such notification will not relieve the responsible person of liability for any consequential expense, loss, or damage to the sewer system or the receiving waters ecology. Failure to immediately notify the village upon knowledge of such prohibited discharge shall subject the responsible person to the remedies allowed by law.
