No person shall cause or permit any stormwater,
groundwater, roof runoff or subsurface water drainage (hereinafter
referred to as "natural water") to be discharged into the public sewer
or into any building drain or building sewer connected to the public
sewer unless prior approval therefor is granted by the Borough Engineer
and/or Director of Public Works, which approval shall be granted only
if necessary for the proper and sanitary disposal of polluted natural
water.
Unless approval for discharge into the public sewer is granted in the manner provided in §
336-25 hereof, natural water and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to storm sewers or to a natural outlet, subject, however, to any required approval by any regulatory official, agency or board, and unpolluted industrial cooling water or processed water may, subject to prior approval of the Borough Engineer and/or Director of Public Works, be similarly discharged to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
No person shall discharge or cause or permit
to be discharged into the public sewer any of the following matters:
A. Gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or any other
flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
B. Any waters containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids
or gases in sufficient quality (either singly or by interaction with
other materials) to injure or interfere with any waste treatment process,
or to constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or to create a public
nuisance, or to create any hazard in the wastewater treatment plant.
C. Any water or waste having a pH lower than 5.5 or having
any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to
structures, equipment or personnel of the wastewater treatment plant.
D. Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such
size as to be capable of causing obstruction of the flow in sewers
or other interference with the proper operation of the wastewater
facilities, such as, but not limited to, ashes, bones, cinders, sand,
mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics,
wood, unground garbage, whole blood, manure, hair and fleshings, entrails
and paper dishes, cups, milk containers and similar materials.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities
are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained in
satisfactory and effective operating conditions by the owner at the
expense of the owner.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit
the Borough from permitting the entry of any particular material into
the public sewer, provided that such material shall have received
proper and adequate pretreatment so that the condition thereof, as
it enters the public sewer, shall not be harmful to the public sewer,
and for that purpose the Borough may enter into any special agreement
or contract with any property owner to provide for special treatment
of any waste or any waste material prior to its entry into the public
sewer.
