permit the pollution of the water supply of a municipality, or any

stream, pond, spring, lake, or other water reservoir or groundwater

aquifer, which is used or which is being held for use as a water

supply by a municipality. A municipality may bring an action in the

district court to enjoin any activity that will cause pollution of

section, the term pollution means contamination or other alteration

of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of any natural

waters of the state, or such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, or

solid substance into any waters of the state as will or is likely to

create a nuisance or render such waters harmful or detrimental or

injurious to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public,

or to domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational,

or other legitimate beneficial uses, or to livestock, wild animals,

birds, or fish or other aquatic life.
