There are some rules that the local government has issued in order to minimize the need for sewage cleanup in Beach Park, IL. Residents are required to abide by them or face penalties that are proportionate to their violations. Most of the punishments are in the form of fines. However, imprisonment may also be meted out if the individual has been found to act with malice or willful intent to cause destruction on the city's or another person's property. 

One of the most important prohibitions applies to both private citizens and businesses. This relates to the ban of discharging any stormwater, surface water, or any kind of clear water to any sanitary sewer unless there is a previous permission from the local government. All other unpolluted process water shall instead be placed in combined sewers or storm sewers or even to natural outlets. 

Other items which are prohibited from being placed into the sewage system are gasoline, naphtha, fuel, or other explosive solid, liquid, and gas. In conjunction with this, poisonous materials are also banned from being put into the system. The purpose of this is that the integrity of the sewage must be maintained. These items are usually corrosive and can lead to the damage of the pipes. When this happens, there may be a system failure and result in the need for sewage cleanup in Beach Park, IL. 

Regardless of whether or not the substance is hazardous, anything that can cause harm to humans or animals or be a public nuisance should not be disposed of to the sewer. This is to act as a precautionary measure in the event that the treatment facility is unable to sufficiently decontaminate it. In which case, there is a risk for the substance to endanger the environment or humans who may come in contact with it.

Viscous materials such as grease, oil, or fats have the tendency to obstruct the flow of the sewers. Other items which can produce the same effect are glass, metal, plastic, and other debris. They can prevent the sewage from flowing properly and cause backflow to happen. Thus, they should be prevented from infiltrating the system in the first place.
