Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials regulated by this chapter, by federal or state regulations or other wastes determined to be harmful or hazardous by federal or state regulations into the city’s sanitary sewer and/or storm sewer. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the user’s expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the city for review, and shall be approved by the city before construction of the protective facilities. It is the user’s responsibility to submit plans which are in compliance with federal, state and local regulations.

The review and approval of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facilities as necessary to provide the protection necessary to protect the sanitary or storm sewer system. The review and approval of such plans will in no way relieve the user of any responsibility or liabilities in the event of a spill, slug discharge, or accidental discharge.
