Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Sewer and Water 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 Sewer and Water Superintendent
and shall be located so 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 Sewer and Water 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 Sewer
and Water 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 Part 1 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.)
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed as preventing any special agreement between the Town
and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual
strength or character may be accepted by the Town for treatment, provided
that state and federal regulations are not violated and subject to
payment therefor by the industrial concern.
[Amended 10-21-2003 by L.L. No. 2-2003]
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully
or negligently break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface 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 and penalties as provided in this Part 1.
