Sec. 18-104. - Enforcement; violations and penalties.

If an illicit discharge to the municipal storm sewer system is detected, the owner shall cease the discharge. If the discharge does not cease within seven calendar days, the owner may be summoned to appear before the municipal court and, after being given an opportunity to be heard, may be fined $100.00 per calendar day that the violation goes unrepaired, and the city may be authorized to take the available appropriate remedies it deems necessary to correct the violations and to assess a lien on the subject property in an amount equal to the cost of the remedial actions. The lien shall be enforced in the manner provided or authorized by law for the enforcement of common law liens on personal property. The lien shall be recorded in the land evidence records of the city and shall incur legal interest from the date of the recording. The imposition of any penalty shall not exempt the offender from compliance with the provisions of this article, including revocation of the performance bond or assessment of a lien on the property.
