(a) The board, in the name of the
municipality, may bring an action to recover damages for:
(1) the breach of an agreement, express or implied, relating to the
construction, management, or repair of sewage works under its
control, including real property; or
(2) injury to the personal or real property used in the sanitary
disposal of sewage in a municipality located within the district.
(b) The board may recover possession of property, may bring an
action for the specific performance of an agreement, and may use, in
the name of the municipality, any legal or equitable remedy necessary
to protect and enforce the rights and perform the duties of the
department.
(c) The board may establish limits on the kinds or amounts of
chemicals and the strength of the waste or other substances the board
considers detrimental to the sewage works. If a person discharges
sewage into the sewage works that exceeds limits set by the board, the
board may order the person to cease using the sewage works upon a
hearing with notice. However, if evidence indicates a public health
hazard is being created, the board may summarily order the person to
cease without notice or hearing. Orders of the board may be enforced
by bringing an action to enjoin discharges into the sewer works in any
court in the county having jurisdiction to hear equity actions. A person
aggrieved by an order of the board is entitled to appeal the order to the
circuit or superior court of the county in which the city is located. If an
order is given without notice, an appeal must be perfected within ten
(10) days after receipt of the order or the right to appeal is considered
waived.
(d) The board of a department in a district described in section
3(b)(2) of this chapter may bring an action in the name of:
(1) a municipality in the district with the approval of the executive
of the municipality; or
(2) the district, with the approval of the board.
