Any owner or operator of a small water company, small sewer company, or both, who

c. 347 ( C.58:11-61 ), shall be subject upon order of a court to a civil penalty not to exceed $50,000

per day of such violation, and each day's continuance of the violation shall constitute

a separate violation. Any penalty incurred pursuant to this section may be recovered with costs, and,

if applicable, interest charges, in a summary proceeding pursuant to “the penalty

enforcement law” ( N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq. ). The Board of Public Utilities or the Department of Environmental Protection may also

commence a civil action in the Superior Court for any other appropriate relief, including

without limitation, a temporary or permanent injunction, and the reasonable costs

of preparing and litigating the case. Use of any of the remedies in this section shall not preclude the use of any other

remedy available to the Board of Public Utilities or the Department of Environmental

Protection under this section or under any other applicable law. As used in this section “small water company” and “small sewer company” shall have

the same meaning as in section 1 of P.L.1981, c. 347 ( C.58:11-59 ).
