waters to any sanitary sewer.
B.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall
be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined
sewers or storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Director
of Public Works. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters
may be discharged, on approval of the Director of Public Works, to
a storm sewer, whole or ground by garbage grinders.
C.
No industrial user may discharge sewage into any public
sewer until the Village has adopted an industrial cost recovery system
which:
(1)
Meets the requirements of Section 204(b)(1)(B) of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (citation)
and applicable federal regulations; and
(2)
Has been approved by the Agency in accordance with
the conditions of any grant made to the Village by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency or by the State of Illinois for the

D.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
the following described substances, materials, waters, or wastes if
it appears likely in the opinion of the Director of Public Works that
such wastes can harm either the sewers sewage treatment process or
equipment; have an adverse effect on the receiving stream; or can
otherwise endanger life, limb, public property, or constitute a nuisance.
In forming his opinion as to the acceptability of these wastes, the
Director of Public Works will give consideration to such factors as
the quantities of subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities
in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of
the sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant,
degree of treatability of wastes in the sewage treatment plant, and
maximum limits established by regulatory agencies. The substances
prohibited are:
(1)

Waters or wastes containing substances which
are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment
process employed, or are amenable to treatment only to such degree
that the sewage treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements
of agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
E.
Discharge of deleterious substances; options of Director
of Public Works.
(1)
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed
to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances
or possess the characteristics enumerated in Subsection D of this
section, and/or which are in violation of the standards for pretreatment
provided in Chapter 1, EPA Rules and Regulations, Subchapter D, Water
Programs Part 128, Pretreatment Standards, Federal Register Volume
38, No. 215, Thursday, November 8, 1973, and any amendments thereto,
and which in the judgment of the Director of Public Works may have
a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment,
or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or
constitute a public nuisance, the Director of Public Works may:
(2)
If the Director of Public Works permits the pretreatment
or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the
plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of
the Director of Public Works, and subject to the requirements of all
applicable codes, ordinances, and laws.
F.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, 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 Director of Public Works and shall be located
as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
G.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities
are provided, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
H.
Each industry shall be required to install a control
manhole, and, when required by the Director of Public Works, 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 Sewer 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.
I.
The owner of any property serviced by a building sewer
carrying industrial wastes shall provide laboratory measurements,
tests, and analyses of waters and wastes to illustrate compliance
with this Part 2 and any special conditions for discharge established
by the Village or regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the
discharge. The number, type, and frequency of laboratory analyses
to be performed by the owner shall be as stipulated by the Village,
but no less than once per year the industry must supply a complete
analysis of the constituents of the wastewater discharge to assure
that compliance with the federal, state, and local standards are being
met. The owner shall report the results of measurements and laboratory
analyses to the Village at such times and in such manner as prescribed
by the Village. The owner shall bear the expense of all measurements,
analyses, and reporting deemed necessary; the Village reserves the
right to take measurements and samples for analysis by an outside
laboratory service.
J.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Part 2 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 sewage 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.)
K.
No statement contained in this section 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, in accordance with § 235-13
hereof, by the industrial concern, provided such payments are in accordance
with federal and state guidelines for user charge system and industrial
cost recovery system.
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully, or negligently
break, damage, destroy, or tamper with any structure, appurtenance,
or equipment which is a part of the sewage works. Any person violating
this provision shall be subject to immediate arrest under charge of
disorderly conduct.

or death to the Village employees, and the Village shall indemnify
the company against loss or damage to its property by Village employees
and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or property
damage asserted against the company and growing out of the gauging
and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence
or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required
in § 235-9H.
C.
The Director of Public Works and other duly authorized
employees of the Village bearing proper credentials and identification
shall be permitted to enter all private properties through which the
