Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewer:
A. 
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F.
B. 
Any water or waste which may contain more than 100 parts per million by weight of fat, oil or grease.
C. 
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
D. 
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
E. 
Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch manure or any other solid or viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works.
F. 
Any waters or waste having a pH lower than 5.5 or higher than 9.0, or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works.
G. 
Any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, or which constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant.
H. 
Any waters or wastes containing suspended solids of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle such materials at the sewage treatment plant.
I. 
Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating a public nuisance.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Village Engineer or duly appointed official of the Village Board, 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 the Village Engineer or duly appointed official of the Village Board and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight and equipped with easily removed covers which when bolted in place shall be gastight and watertight.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having a five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 parts per million by weight, or containing more than 350 parts per million by weight of suspended solids, or containing any quantity of substances having the characteristics described in § 147-30C, or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the Village, shall be subject to the review of the Village Engineer or duly appointed official of the Village Board. Where necessary in the opinion of the Village Engineer or duly appointed official of the Village Board, the owner shall provide, at his sole expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per million and the suspended solids to 350 part per million by weight, or reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in § 147-30, or control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of both the Village Engineer or duly appointed official of the Village Board and the Code Enforcement Officer, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
When required by the Superintendent of the Highway Department, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole 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 of the Highway Department. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his sole expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§ 147-30 and 147-33 shall be determined in accordance with “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage,” and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in § 147-35, 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 from the point where the building sewer is connected.
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.
