2005 Minnesota Statutes - 144.35 — Pollution of water.

     144.35 Pollution of water. 


    No sewage or other matter that will impair the 
 healthfulness of water shall be deposited where it will fall or 
 drain into any pond or stream used as a source of water supply 
 for domestic use.  The commissioner shall have general charge of 
 all springs, wells, ponds, and streams so used and take all 
 necessary and proper steps to preserve the same from such 
 pollution as may endanger the public health. In case of 
 violation of any of the provisions of this section, the 
 commissioner may, with or without a hearing, order any person to 
 desist from causing such pollution and to comply with such 
 direction as the commissioner may deem proper and expedient in 
 the premises.  Such order shall be served forthwith upon the 
 person found to have violated such provisions.
