220.320 Regulations as to use and construction of works and improvements -Enforcement -- Penalties and damages.
Where necessary in order to secure the best results from the construction, operation, and
maintenance of the works and improvements of the district or construction subdistricts
and to prevent their damage from misuse, the board of directors may make and enforce
regulations pertaining to the use by persons and public corporations of the works and
improvements of the district or construction subdistricts. Such regulations may prescribe
the design, construction and use of sewers within the district or construction subdistricts
and the manner in which connections to laterals, trunk sewers, intercepting sewers and to
other works of the district or construction subdistricts shall be made, may prevent the
unnecessary pollution of any watercourse or supply within the district or construction
subdistricts and may prohibit the discharge into such sewers of any wastes deemed
detrimental to the works and improvements of the district or construction subdistricts.
Such regulations shall have no effect until approved by the Energy and Environment
Cabinet. The board may recover by civil action from any person or public corporation
violating such regulations, a sum not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than
one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each offense, together with costs. The directors may
enforce by mandamus or otherwise all necessary and authorized regulations made by
them, and may remove any improper construction or close any connections made
improperly or in violation of the regulations. Any person or public corporation willfully
failing to comply with the regulations shall be liable for damages caused by such failure
and for the cost of renewing any construction damaged or destroyed.
