A.
All persons owning any occupied building now erected
within the Borough's service area upon premises accessible to the
public sanitary sewage system shall, at their own expense, make connection
into the public sanitary sewage system in accordance with this Sewers
and Sewage Disposal Ordinance, as may be amended from time to time
and in effect in the Borough's service area, if they are not presently
so connected.
B.
All persons owning any premises within the Borough's
service area accessible to the public sanitary sewage system upon
which an occupied building is subsequently erected shall, at the time
of erection of such building, and at their own expense, make connection
into the public sanitary sewage system in accordance with the applicable
above-named ordinance in effect in the Borough's service area.
C.
All persons owning any occupied building within the
Borough's service area upon premises which subsequently become accessible
to the public sanitary sewage system shall, at their own expense,
make connection into the public sanitary sewage system within the
time period stipulated after proper notice to do so have been given
in accordance with applicable law.
D.
All connections to the public sanitary sewage system shall be made in accordance with § 185-24 hereof.
E.
No privy vault, cesspool, septic tank, mine hole or
similar receptacle for human excrement shall presently or at any time
hereafter be connected into the public sanitary sewage system.
A.
The discharge of stormwater runoff to sanitary sewers
is prohibited.
B.
All persons connecting to the public sanitary sewage
system shall provide adequate means for excluding stormwater runoff
in the event that the connection is made to a sanitary sewer.
C.
No person connected to a sanitary sewer shall connect
any roof drain or foundation drain thereto or permit any such drains
to remain connected thereto, nor shall he permit, allow or cause to
enter into any sanitary sewer any spring water or surface water from
any other source.
D.
The provisions of this article do not prohibit the
present or future discharge of stormwater runoff to storm sewers or
to natural watercourses with the Borough's service area, but such
discharge must conform to the provisions of the Stormwater Management
Ordinance, Ordinance No. 428 of 1998, as the same may be amended from
time to time.[1]
A.
The economy and desirability of the combined treatment of industrial wastes and sanitary sewage is recognized. In general, any and all industrial wastes may be discharged to the public sanitary sewage system except those which are deemed harmful to the system or are prohibited by this article. (See also Article III of this chapter). However, it is also recognized that the treatment of industrial wastes and/or abnormal industrial wastes may add to the cost of operating and maintaining the public sanitary sewage system. Such additional cost must therefore be borne by the person or persons receiving the benefit of such treatment.
B.
The Borough reserves the right to refuse the admission
of deleterious industrial wastes to the public sanitary sewage system
or to compel discontinuance of the use of the system for such wastes
or to require pretreatment and/or equalization of flow thereof in
order to prevent harmful or adverse effects upon the system. The design,
construction and operation of such pretreatment and/or flow equalization
facilities shall be made at the sole expense of the person discharging
said wastes and shall be subject to the approval of the Board or its
designated representative.
C.
In general, industrial waste shall be considered harmful
to the public sanitary sewage system if it may cause any of the following
damaging effects:
(1)
Chemical reaction either directly or indirectly with
the materials of construction of the public sanitary sewage system
in such a manner as to impair the strength or durability of any sewage
structures.
(2)
Mechanical action that will destroy any sewage structures.
(3)
Restriction of the hydraulic capacity of any sewage
structures.
(4)
Restriction of the normal inspection or maintenance
of any sewage structures.
(5)
Danger to public health and safety.
(6)
Obnoxious conditions inimical to the public interest.
(7)
Discharge of items into the sewer system, which cannot
be treated in the sewage disposal plant, and which would flow untreated
or inadequately treated into the Little Neshannock Creek. Such items
at this point would be deleterious to the creek water and would not
conform to the Environmental Protection Agency's clean water specifications.
D.
When required by the Board, any person discharging
to the public sanitary sewage system any industrial wastes, or industrial
wastes and sanitary sewage together, shall install a suitable manhole
or manholes or metering chamber on his connecting sewer or sewers
to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the combined
flow or wastes from his premises. Such manhole or manholes or metering
chamber shall be accessible and safely located and shall be constructed
in accordance with plans approved by the Board or its designated representative.
The manhole or manholes or metering chamber shall be installed by
such person at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to
be safe and accessible to the Board or its designated representative
at all times. The construction and maintenance of such manhole or
manholes or metering chamber shall be mandatory for the producers
of abnormal industrial wastes, including slug quantities of volume
or concentrated discharges, and if deemed necessary by the Board,
flows from such manhole or manholes or metering chamber shall be continuously
monitored, transmitted and recorded by means of an approved receiving
device to be located at the treatment plant.
A.
The discharge of excessive amounts of unpolluted water
or waste to a sanitary sewer is expressly prohibited. However, such
discharges to storm sewers will be permitted wherever such sewers
are of adequate capacity. The Board reserves the right to define the
amount it deems excessive in each particular instance.
B.
The discharge of garbage to the public sanitary sewage
system is expressly prohibited unless the garbage is first properly
shredded.
C.
From the date of the adoption of the provisions of this chapter, no sanitary sewage or industrial waste from any property other than that for which a permit has been issued as provided in § 185-24 hereof shall be discharged to the public sanitary sewage system.
D.
No person shall discharge to the public sanitary sewage
system any sanitary sewage or industrial wastes having any of the
following characteristics:
(1)
Wastes containing liquids, solids or gases which by
reason of their nature or quality may cause fire, explosions or be
in any other way injurious to persons, the structures of the public
sanitary sewage system or its operation.
(2)
Wastes having a temperature in excess of 150°
F. or less than 32° F.
(3)
Wastes having a pH lower than 6.0 or higher than 9.0
or having any corrosive properties capable of causing damage or hazards
to structures, equipment or personnel of the public sanitary sewage
system. Where the Board deems it advisable, it may require any person
discharging industrial wastes to install and maintain, at his own
expense, in a manner approved by the Board or its designated representative,
a suitable device to continuously measure and record the pH of the
wastes so discharged.
(4)
Wastes containing any noxious or malodorous gas or
substance which either singly or by interaction with sewage or other
waste is, in the opinion of the Board, likely to create a public nuisance
or hazard to life or prevent entry to sewage structures for their
maintenance and repair.
(5)
Wastes containing ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw,
shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, hair,
chemical or paint residues, greases, lime slurry or viscous materials
of such character or in such quantity that, in the opinion of the
Board, they may cause an obstruction to the flow in the sewers or
otherwise interfere with the proper operations of the public sanitary
sewage system. Attention is called to the fact that the maximum permissible
concentration will vary throughout the public sanitary sewage system
depending upon the size of the particular interceptor sewer receiving
the same and the flows therein.
(6)
Wastes containing insoluble, non-flocculent substances
having a specific gravity in excess of 2.65.
(7)
Wastes containing soluble substances in such concentration
as to cause the specific gravity of the waste to be greater than 1.1.

E.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors.
(1)
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided,
by the owner at the owner's expense, when, in the opinion of the Inspector,
they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing
grease in excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand and 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 said Inspector and shall be
located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(2)
Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of
impervious material capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes
in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight
and equipped with easily removable covers which when bolted in place
shall be gastight and watertight.
(3)
All facilities that have commercial-type kitchens must have grease
interceptors. These grease interceptors must be located outside the
building unless the Board permits otherwise. The grease interceptors
must be maintained by the owners. Unless otherwise notified by the
Inspector that a grease interceptor is necessary to be installed immediately,
existing facilities without grease interceptors shall be required
to install grease interceptors within 24 months of the enactment of
this chapter.
[Amended 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
(4)
Grease interceptors shall be cleaned to ensure that sediment and
floating materials do not accumulate to impair the efficiency of the
grease interceptor; to ensure the discharge is in compliance with
local discharge limits; and to ensure no visible grease is observed
in discharge. Grease interceptors shall be completely evacuated a
minimum of every 30 days, or more frequently when:
[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]

[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
(8)
The Board shall have the right to enter the premises during regular
business hours of any user or potential user to determine whether
the user is complying with all requirements of this chapter and any
wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall
allow the Board ready access to all parts of the premises for the
purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying,
and the performance of any additional duties.
[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
(9)
Where a user has security measures in force which require proper
identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the user
shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that,
upon presentation of suitable identification, the Board will be permitted
to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
(10)
The Board shall have the right to set up on the user's property,
or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct
sampling and/or metering of the user's operations.
[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]

[Added 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
A.
There is imposed upon the owners of, or the users of water in or on, all properties served by the public sanitary sewage system, sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges for the use of said system, payable in the amounts and as provided in the Sewer Rate Ordinance heretofore adopted by the Board and as amended and modified hereinafter from time to time and made part of this chapter as Article VIII. Said owners and users will be jointly and severally liable for the payment of said sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges and the penalties therein prescribed for delinquent payments thereof.
B.
All bills for sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges shall be due when rendered and shall be subject to the penalty provisions set forth in the Sewer Rate Ordinance (Article VIII hereof). Owners and, where adequate arrangements have been made with the Borough, users will be billed periodically for the sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges in accordance with the billing practices of the Borough.
C.
Unless changed by the Sewer Rate Ordinance, the Borough's sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges shall be on a water usage rate basis. The Borough may, if it deems it advisable, elect at some time in the future to impose, in whole or in part, the sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges on such other basis as it may determine. When the water usage is used as the basis for said charges, the volume of water to be used for billing purposes shall be based upon water meter readings or, in the absence of such readings, upon estimates made by the Borough or flat rate charges, all as more particularly set forth from time to time in the Sewer Rate Ordinance (Article VIII hereof).
D.
When water usage is used as the basis of charges,
then the owner or user must, after written notice from the Borough,
install and maintain a water meter or meters satisfactory for measuring
all water used at the premises. The cost of the meter and its installation
shall be borne by the owner or user or the water service provider,
as the case may be. The quantity of water used to determine the sewage
collection, transportation and treatment charges shall be the quantity
of water measured by all such meters. In lieu of meters, the Sewer
Rate Ordinance may establish a flat rate charge, which shall be applicable
to such nonmetered water usage.
E.
When water usage is used as the basis of charges,
then if it is established to the satisfaction of the Board that a
portion of the water used in or on any property served by the public
sanitary sewage system does not and cannot enter said system, the
Board may determine, in such manner and by such method as it may deem
practical, the percentage of the water entering the public sanitary
sewage system, or the Board may require or insist upon the installation
of an additional meter or meters, cost borne by the owner or user,
in such manner as to determine either the quantity of water excluded
from the public sanitary sewage system or the quantity of water, sewage
or industrial waste actually entering the public sanitary sewage system.
In such case, the sewage collection, transportation and treatment
charge shall be based upon the quantity of water estimated, measured
or computed by the Board to be actually entering the public sanitary
sewage system.
F.
When water usage is used as the basis of charges,
then any person requesting consideration for a reduction of the amount
of sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges because
of water not entering the public sanitary sewage system shall make
written application to the Board for such consideration, giving the
name of such person, his address and setting forth supporting data
fully describing other sources of water, if any, as well as the disposition
of water alleged not to be entering the public sanitary sewage system.
The application shall be accompanied by a sketch to approximate scale
showing the plan of the property, the water distribution system, sewer
layout, existing meters and proposed meters in the scheme to determine
the quantity of flow entering, or not entering, the public sanitary
sewage system. The cost of furnishing, installing and maintaining
any meters other than those utilized to measure water purchased from
the Borough shall be borne by the applicant. The type, size, location,
arrangement and maintenances of such meters shall be subject to the
approval of the Borough.
A.
Although the sewage treatment works will be capable of treating certain abnormal industrial wastes as heretofore defined in § 185-16 of Article V, the actual treatment of such wastes may increase the cost of operating and maintaining the public sanitary sewage system. Therefore, there will be imposed upon each person discharging such industrial waste into the public sanitary sewage system a surcharge, or surcharges, which are intended to cover such additional cost. Such surcharges shall be in addition to the regular sewage collection, transportation and treatment charges set forth in the Sewer Rate Ordinance (see Article VIII hereof) and shall be payable as therein provided.
B.
The strength of any industrial waste, the discharge of which is to be subject to surcharge, shall be determined monthly, or more frequently as the Board shall determine, from samples taken either at the manhole or metering chamber referred to in § 185-19 hereof or at any other sampling point mutually agreed upon by the Board and the producer of such waste. The frequency and duration of the sampling period shall be such as, in the opinion of the Board, will permit a reasonably reliable determination of the average composition of such waste. Samples shall be collected or their collection supervised by a representative of the Board and shall be in proportion to the flow of waste, exclusive of stormwater runoff, and composited for analysis in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, cited above. Except as hereinafter provided, the strength of the waste so found by analysis shall be used for establishing the surcharge or surcharges.
C.
In the event that any industrial waste is found by
the Board to have a BOD in excess of 300 milligrams per liter, the
producer of said waste shall be surcharged an amount equal to the
product of the actual volume of wastes in thousand gallons per billing
period, discharged to the public sanitary sewage system and the BOD
surcharge rate. The BOD surcharge rate shall be determined by the
following formula:
|
Rs
|
=
|
0.00834 P (C - 300)
| ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Where:
| ||||
|
RS
|
=
|
The BOD surcharge rate in cents per 1,000 gallons
of waste discharged.
| ||
|
P
|
=
|
The average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of tertiary treatment processes per pound of BOD received at the treatment works (see Sewer Rate Ordinance at Article VIII below).
| ||
|
C
|
=
|
The average BOD of the industrial waste expressed in milligrams per per liter as determined in accordance with § 185-22B of this article.
| ||
|
The figure "300" appearing in the above formula
corresponds to the maximum BOD permissible without surcharge. The
figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert milligrams per liter to pounds
per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial
wastes having a BOD less than 300 milligrams per liter.
|
D.
In the event that any industrial waste is found, by
the Board, to have an average suspended solids concentration in excess
of 350 milligrams per liter, the producer of such waste shall be surcharged
an amount equal to the product of the actual volume of wastes in thousand
gallons per billing period, discharged to the public sanitary sewage
system and the suspended solids surcharge rate. The suspended solids
surcharge rate shall be determined by the following formula:
|
Rs
|
=
|
0.00834 x B (S - 350)
| ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Where:
| ||||
|
RS
|
=
|
The suspended solids surcharge rate in cents
per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged.
| ||
|
B
|
=
|
The average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of the sludge digestion, sludge drying and sludge disposal operations per pound of suspended solids received at the treatment works (see Sewer Rate Ordinance at Article VIII below).
| ||
|
S
|
=
|
The average suspended solids concentration of the abnormal industrial waste expressed in milligrams per liter as determined in accordance with § 185-22B of this article.
| ||
|
The figure 350 appearing in the above formula
corresponds to the maximum suspended solids concentration permissible
without surcharge. The figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert milligrams
per liter to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted
for sewage or industrial wastes having a suspended solids concentration
less than 350 milligrams per liter.
|
Bills and notices relating to the sewage collection,
transportation and treatment charges and surcharges will be mailed
or delivered to the property owner's last address or, where proper
arrangements have been made with the Board, to the user's last address
as shown on the billing books of the Board.
A.
Application for connection to the public sanitary
sewage system shall be made to the Board upon the prepared printed
form furnished by the Borough. All plans must be installed in accordance
with this article as well as the Uniform Construction Code.
[Amended 5-7-2012 by Ord. No. 508]
B.
All information requested on said form shall be furnished
by the applicant, including the character and use of each structure
located upon the property.
C.
Any required tap-in fee, connection fee and/or inspection fee shall be paid at the time of receiving approval of application for permission to make a connection. Such fees shall be as set forth in the Sewer Rate Ordinance incorporated at Article VIII below. All costs shall be borne by the owner or user regarding tap-in connections.
D.
No work shall commence before the payment of any aforementioned
connection permit.
E.
Each lot having an occupied building or buildings
thereon must have at least one main building sewer and one tap-in.
Two or more buildings, located on the same lot and owned by the same
owner, may have their individual sewer lines connected on the lot
into one main building sewer which shall connect into the public sanitary
sewer. Consolidation of the sanitary sewers from two or more buildings,
owned by different owners, into one main building sewer shall be prohibited,
unless permission is obtained by the Borough. Each individual sewer
from each building shall be inspected. The inspection fee shall be
charged for each building sewer in addition to the inspection of the
main building sewer and any tap-in and/or connection fees. The owner
of each building, or group of buildings owned by the same owner, shall
pay for the initial installation of the main building sewer and for
any inspection fees, connection fees (if any) and tap-in fees (if
any). If approved by the Borough, a single main building sewer, with
payment of inspection fees, connection fees (if any) and tap-in fees
(if any) for the appropriate number of actual units served, will be
permitted to serve a school, factory, apartment complex, condominium
or other permanent multiple unit structure, whose individual units
may not be owned by one owner, but only after it has been determined
who will pay for the inspections, connection and tap-in fees and who
shall be responsible for the maintenance of the main building sewer.
If approved by the Borough, a single main building sewer, with payment
of inspection, connection and tap-in fees for the appropriate number
of actual units served, will be permitted to serve a school, factory,
apartment complex, condominium or other permanent multiple unit structure,
whose individual units may not be owned by one owner, but only after
it has been determined who will pay for the inspections, connection
and tap-in fees and who shall be responsible for the maintenance of
the main building sewer.
[Amended 12-1-2008 by Ord. No. 498]
F.
Connections to sanitary sewers shall be completed
within 60 calendar days after receipt of proper notice.
G.
All connections to the sanitary sewers shall be subject to certain restrictions as to unacceptable sanitary sewage, which are set forth herein in § 185-20.
H.
The designated Inspector of the Board shall be given
at least 24 hours' notice of the time when such connection shall be
made in order that said Inspector can be present to inspect and approve
the work of connection. If such work is to be during a weekend or
on a day following a holiday, notice shall be given two business days
in advance. The Inspector shall signify his approval of the connection
by endorsing his name and the date of approval on the aforementioned
connection permit in the possession of the permittees.
I.
At the time of inspection of the connection, the owner
or owners of properties shall permit the Inspector full and complete
access to all sanitary and drainage arrangements and facilities in
each building and in and about all parts of the property. No building
sewer line shall be covered over or in any manner concealed until
after it is inspected and approved by said Inspector. An approved
test shall be made of the sewer line, after backfilling has been done,
and before final approval of the sewer installation is given.
J.
It is the intention of this article that the entire
connection be inspected at one time; however, if the Inspector feels
that special conditions warrant more than one inspection, he may request
the same, subject to such additional inspection fees as the Board
shall determine.
K.
All construction details shall be in accordance with
the Construction Standards of the Borough of New Wilmington, as the
same may be in force at the time the permit to connect is issued,
unless the permit for the sewer or its connection provides otherwise.
L.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too
low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried
by such drain shall be lifted by approved artificial means and discharged
to the building sewer.
M.
The Borough may refuse a permit to allow a connection
directly to the main intercepting sewer and require extensions and
connection to a manhole; the manhole, sewer and other work to be done
at the expense of the owner. Laterals may not be connected directly
to a manhole unless approved by the Board.
N.
Commercial installations must also comply with all
local construction regulations.
O.
The property owner shall be responsible for the maintenance,
repair and replacement of the main building sewer line beginning from
the edge of the visible cartway to the building. The Borough shall
be responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the
building sewer line beginning from the edge of the visible cartway
to the main sewer line. As it relates to this section, the edge of
the visible cartway is defined as the curb or, if no curb, the point
on the roadway at which the pavement or other road surface ends.
[Amended 12-1-2008 by Ord. No. 498]
P.
If, in the opinion of the Inspector, there is a danger
of backflow, upon notification by the Inspector, the owner or user
must install a backflow preventer on the main building sewer, all
expenses paid for by the owner or user.
A.
Five copies of plans for proposed extensions shall
be submitted to the Board on twenty-four-by-thirty-six-inch sheets
showing plan views to a scale of one inch equals 50 feet and profiles

by the Board, it will be necessary for the developer to furnish to
the Board as-built plans showing the angle and distance between manholes,
the top and invert elevation of each manhole and the exact location
of all house sewer connections relative to the nearest manhole both
downstream and upstream.
E.
Easements shall be recorded in the name of the Borough
for all sewers to be constructed outside of dedicated street rights-of-way.
F.
The developer shall file all necessary connection
permits and pay the applicable tap connection and inspection fee for
each house or building to the Board which shall become due and payable
prior to inspection and approval by the Inspector for each respective
house service sewer.
G.
The developer shall also reimburse the Board in full
for all costs of inspection of construction of all sanitary sewers.
The amount and type of inspection required shall be determined by
the Board prior to construction.
H.
