A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Whenever a user has violated a pretreatment standard or requirement or continues to violate Articles 1 through 10 , wastewater discharge permits or orders issued under this section, or any other pretreatment requirement, the city may petition the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaii, or the United States District Court, State of Hawaii, through the city’s attorney for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this chapter on activities of the industrial user. Such other action as appropriate for legal or equitable relief, or both, may also be sought by the city. A petition for injunctive relief need not be filed as a prerequisite to taking any other action against a user.
