(1) No person shall construct, use, maintain, or allow the continued existence of an illicit connection to the storm water system. Existing illicit connections are expressly prohibited, without limitation, regardless of whether the connection was permissible under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of connection.

(2) Examples of illicit connections include but are not limited to wastewater lines such as those from sanitary sewers, or drains carrying wash or industrial process water.

(3) A person is in violation of this title if the person connects a line conveying sewage to the municipal storm water system or allows such a connection to continue. Improper connections in violation of this title must be disconnected and redirected, if necessary, to an approved on-site wastewater management system or to the sanitary sewer system upon approval of the City Engineer.
