No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater. surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process
waters to any sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage
shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated
as storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent.
Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged,
on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
No mechanism or device for the disposal of garbage,
certain types of which are known as "garbage disposer," "garbage grinder"
or "food waste shredder," which is designed or intended or operates
to shred, grind, pulverize or otherwise decompose or dispose of garbage,
shall be installed in such a way that it can discharge directly or
indirectly into the public sewer. No permit for such installation
shall be granted.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for
the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive
amounts or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients,
except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living
quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and
capacity approved by the Superintendent and shall be located as to
be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing
facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained
continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner
at his expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner
of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes
shall install a suitable control manhole, together with such necessary
meters, and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate
observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole,
when required, shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be
constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent.
The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall
be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the
characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in
this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition
of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published
by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined
at the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at
said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been
required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest
downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building
sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted
methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the POTW works
and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property.
(The particular analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour
composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether
a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always,
BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour
composites of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic
grab samples.)
No statement contained in this Article shall
be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between
the Village and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste
of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Village for
treatment, subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern.
