A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

A. No person shall erect any improvements, structures, or embankments, over public wastewater systems without the written permission of the director. B. No person shall discharge material from cesspools, septic tanks, chemical toilets and privies into the public wastewater system without obtaining a wastewater discharge permit. C. No person shall open any manhole without permission by the director. D. No person shall discharge or propose to discharge to the public wastewater system any waters or wastes that contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in section 14.21A.015 without the written approval of the director. For any discharge that, in the judgment of the director, may have a deleterious effect upon the public wastewater system, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or that otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the director may require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating such waters or wastes. Such added cost may have values greater than those defined for normal wastewater and may not be included in the wastewater system charges provided by chapter 14.31 of this title. (Ord. 2760 § 4 (part), 1999)
