(A) The introduction of storm water, ground water, or other water not originating in the Town water system is hereby prohibited. Yard area drains, connections to downspouts, broken or damaged service pipes, and the like, are specifically forbidden, whether or not they are preexisting. Any known or finable sources must be corrected at the property owner's expense, if the offending inlet is on his or her property. No deviation will be allowed.
(B) The Director of Public Services and/or Town Engineer is hereby directed, in every case he or she can find, to take action to have the inflow stopped.
(C) The Director of Public Services and/or Town Engineer will notify, by first-class mail, each property owner found to be in violation of the requirement to discontinue the inflow. The notice shall specify a date by which the property owner must have the violation corrected. Any person who fails to comply within the time specified is subject to a civil penalty of $500. Each day in which the violation continues beyond the specified time is a separate violation.
(D) The Town will not, in any case, be required to make any corrections in street or other drainage.
