in effect15.13.040 - Declaring of nuisance of exist.
The flow of produced water from property into streets, alleys, gutters, and other public rights-of-way, ditches, or into a stormwater drainage system or facility is contrary to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of El Paso and is therefore declared to be a nuisance. "Produced water" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 15.12.005 (A) of the City Code. Both the city attorney's office and the attorney for the public service board are authorized to take legal action to abate such a nuisance, including but not limited to seeking injunctive relief. This authorization to seek injunctive relief, or other legal action to abate such a nuisance shall not preclude prosecution for a violation of this chapter.
