(a) All owners or users of private sewers shall not, either directly or through an intervening public or private storm sewer, drain domestic sewage into any natural or manmade watercourse within the City of York limits. Any such discharge shall be discontinued immediately upon notice from the City of York, with the notice served upon such owner or user, or, if nonresident in the City of York, upon the agent thereof or upon the party in possession, and if there is no agent or party in possession, then by notice posted upon the most public part of the property. Such owner shall cease discharge and at his own expense, connect his house drain with the sanitary sewer system. Nothing herein shall forbid the continuation of the drainage through such private or public storm water sewers of roof, surface or ground water.
(b) The discharge or spilling of industrial waste or waste water or of any hazardous, toxic, colored or oil-bearing matter into a natural watercourse either directly or indirectly via public or private storm sewer, ditch or culvert is prohibited unless such discharge is in accordance with the permit issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection or consists of unpolluted cooling, boiler or distilled water.
