§ 5460 Contamination Abatement Orders

The state department or local health officer may issue a peremptory order requiring the abatement of a contamination, and shall immediately furnish to the proper regional board a report of information and data relating thereto. Coincident with issuing such order, or if any order or regulation is not complied with, the director or local health officer may bring and prosecute an action for an injunction in the superior court of the county in which the contamination occurs. The state department or local health officer shall render to persons subject to such order all possible assistance in complying with the order, including all possible assistance in securing any necessary funds for such purpose.
