Except hereinafter provided, no person shall
discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described
waters or wastes to any public sewers:
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 wastes 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 toxic or poisonous
substance in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage
treatment process, 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.
J. Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling
wastes or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not.
K. Any water or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper,
zinc and similar objectionable or toxic substances, or wastes exerting
an excessive chlorine requirement, to such degree that any such material
received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds
the limits established by the superintendent for such materials.
L. Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste
or odor-producing substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits
which may be established by the Superintendent as necessary, after
treatment of the composite sewage, to meet the requirements of the
state, federal or other public agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge
to the receiving waters.
M. Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life
or concentration as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent
in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.
N. Materials which exert or cause:
(1) Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such
as but not limited to fuller's earth, lime slurries and lime residues)
or of dissolved solids (such as but not limited to sodium chloride
and sodium sulfate).
(2) Excessive discoloration (such as but not limited to
dye wastes and vegetable tanning solution).
(3) Unusual chemical oxygen demand or chlorine requirements
in such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
When required by the Superintendent, 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.
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 §§
98-27 and
98-29 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 for in §
98-30 or upon suitable samples taken at the 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.
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 therefore by the industrial concern.
