§ 19-411. Approval of certain wastes required; approval of discharge of water from swimming pools

(a) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any wastes into a public sewer unless the acceptance of these wastes has been approved by the commission. The commission requires 45 days' prior notification by any person of the proposed substantial change in volume or character of pollutants over that being discharged into the wastewater treatment works or of a proposed new discharge into the wastewater treatment works of pollutants from any source discharging more than 2,000 gallons per day.

(b) The commission shall be notified by the owner of the proposed discharge of water from a swimming pool to the public sewer. The commission shall have the right to approve or deny the request, to designate the time and rate of flow permitted and to enter upon the premises to inspect the project prior to and during the operation. If an owner fails to provide such notification or disregards instruction, whether accidentally or intentionally, the owner will be held responsible for any damage that may be caused from such discharge subject to the enforcement powers contained in this article, and the commission shall not be held liable for such violation.
