48-3622. Permission required to connect to
storm water drain; fee; violation; classification
A person desiring to make a connection to any storm water drain of a flood control
district or to cause floodwaters or storm or other waters to be emptied into any ditch or
drain of the district shall first apply to the district for permission to make the
connection. The district may require the connection to be made in such manner as it
directs and may impose reasonable conditions and such reasonable connection fee as it
deems proper or, if reasonably justified by the circumstances, may refuse permission. In
addition, the district may require any action or impose any restriction that the district
considers reasonably necessary to meet the district's obligations, if any, to comply with
local, state or federal water quality laws. A person making a connection which causes
floodwaters to be so discharged without first having obtained permission is guilty of a
class 2 misdemeanor.
