Prohibition of Illicit Connections: <br />a. The construction, use, maintenance, or continued existence of illicit connections to the <br />storm drainage system is prohibited. <br />b. This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, illicit connections made in the <br />past, regardless of whether the connection was permissible under law or practices <br />applicable or prevailing at the time of connection. <br />c.
