   Where required by the city, the owner of any property serviced by a sanitary sewer shall provide protection from an accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter.

Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the Wastewater System Operator for review and approval prior to construction of the facility. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve any user from the responsibility to modify the user’s facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter. Users shall notify the Wastewater System Operator immediately upon having a slug or accidental discharge of wastewater in violation of this chapter to enable countermeasures to be taken by the Wastewater System Operator to minimize damage to the treatment facilities. Such notification will not relieve any user of any liability for any expense, loss, or damage to the treatment facilities or treatment process, or for any fines imposed on the city on account thereof under any state and/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 procedure.
