In the case of an accidental discharge, it is the responsibility of the industrial user to immediately telephone and notify the city and the Orem City POTW of the incident. The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, and corrective actions:
a. Written Notice. Within fifteen days following an accidental discharge, the industrial user shall submit to the city and the Orem City POTW manager a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the industrial user of any expense, loss, damage or other liability which may be incurred by the city as a result of damage to the city sewer system, to the Orem City POTW, fish kills, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the industrial user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this chapter or other applicable law.
