A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
into the sewer system any of the following:
C.
Whenever a person is authorized by the Authority and the appropriate governmental agencies to discharge any polluted water, sanitary sewage or industrial waste containing any of the substances or possessing any of the characteristics referred to in Subsection A(1) and (2) above, such discharge shall be subject to the continuing approval, inspection and review of the Authority. If, in the opinion of the Authority, such discharges are causing or will cause damage to the sewer system, the Authority shall order the person causing such discharge to cease doing so forthwith or to take other appropriate action, as may be required by the Authority, to eliminate the harmful discharge.
D.
In no circumstances shall any plumber or any other
person install or connect, or permit to be installed or connected,
to the service line or any part of the sewer system any device or
system designed to discharge any substance other than sanitary sewage
or allowable industrial waste into the sewer system. Without limiting
the foregoing, all plumbers or other persons are prohibited from installing
or connecting, or permitting to be installed or connected, a sump
pump, gutter, downspout or other device to conduct streams, storm,
roof, ground- or surface water into the sewer system.

[Added 5-26-2011 by Res. No. 11-05-001]

waste, pollutant or other matter or substance containing:
(a)
Diapers, baby wipes, adult wipes, or shop rags.
(b)
Feminine products, sanitary napkins or tampons of any kind.
(c)
Cloth of any kind.

A.
Community treatment/disposal systems shall not be
permitted within the LASA service area.
B.
STEP and low-pressure systems. Low-pressure and septic tank effluent
pump (STEP) systems and any other system where multiple residential
units share one grinder pump facility shall not be permitted within
the LASA sewer system. Low-pressure grinder pump systems shall not
be permitted within the LASA sewer system unless approved by the Authority's
Executive Director. Factors to compel approval of a low-pressure grinder
pump system are limited to situations where elevations are not conducive
to gravity service and are too limited in scope to require a sewer
pumping station.
[Amended 10-22-2015 by Res. No. 15-10-003]
C.
Individual grinder pumps:
(1)
Where gravity sewer systems are deemed feasible by
the Authority, individual grinder pumps shall not be approved. However,
where deemed appropriate by the Authority, and where gravity sewer
service is not feasible, individual grinder pumps may be installed
by a homeowner or developer upon Authority approval.
(2)
Grinder pumps shall be located outside of the building structure
for all new and existing construction, unless such requirement is
waived by the Executive Director. When an individual grinder pump
installation is proposed by a developer or homeowner, sufficient information
must be provided to the Authority to permit a thorough evaluation
of the proposed system. This information shall include, but not be
limited to, the following:
[Amended 10-22-2015 by Res. No. 15-10-003]
(a)
A detailed explanation as to why gravity service is not feasible
and why an individual grinder pump system is appropriate.
(b)
Technical specifications of the proposed individual grinder
pump unit.
(c)
Shop drawings prior to installation of the units. These shop
drawings must be approved by the Authority.
(3)
Installation of the individual grinder pump units
shall be in accordance with the LASA Rules and Regulations. All individual
grinder pump system installations must be inspected, tested, and deemed
to be in compliance with the Authority's Rules and Regulations by
the Authority or its authorized agents prior to backfilling.
(4)
When the Authority installs individual grinder pump systems to address
a sewer needs area defined by the current Act 537 plan, the Authority
will construct, own, maintain and service the systems. In all other
cases, the ownership, maintenance and service of all individual grinder
pump systems shall be and remain the property and sole responsibility
of the homeowner.
[Amended 10-22-2015 by Res. No. 15-10-003]
(5)
Should a maintenance problem occur with an individual
grinder pump unit, the homeowner must make, or have a plumber make,
the necessary repairs. If during the course of making the repairs
the owner or plumber finds that a new pump is needed, then a plumber
must replace the pump, at the owner's cost, as specified above.
(6)
All electrical control panels of individual grinder
pump units installed within the LASA service area shall have a permanently
attached phenolic label indicating that "All maintenance costs for
individual grinder pump systems are the homeowner's responsibility."
(7)
The following notation shall be included on all development
plans proposing the use of individual grinder pump systems in the
LASA service area: "A copy of the Individual Grinder Pump Management
Plan shall be given to the homeowner of any affected property, at
the time of settlement of that property."
(8)
Connections of pressurized service lines shall be
made into a gravity sewer lateral within the road right-of-way.
A.
Whenever a person requests permission from the Authority to discharge any polluted water, sanitary sewage or industrial waste containing any of the substances or possessing any of the characteristics referred to in § 125-22A(1) and (2) of this chapter, the Authority may, in its sole discretion, require as a condition to its granting approval for such discharge that said person provide, at his own expense, pretreatment of such waters or wastes to reduce or eliminate objectionable substances or characteristics prior to discharge into the sewer system, or to control the quantities or rates of discharge of such waters or wastes.
B.
Whenever a person is required by the Authority to
provide pretreatment facilities, no construction of such facilities
shall be commenced until: construction drawings, specification and
other pertinent information relating to the proposed facilities are
submitted by said person to the Authority and the Authority gives
written approval for the construction of the proposed facilities.
C.
Whenever pretreatment facilities are approved by the
Authority and are placed in operation, said facilities shall be continuously
maintained in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner thereof,
at his own expense. The Authority shall have the right to inspect
said facilities at any reasonable time to ensure such are being properly
maintained and operated in accordance with the then current Rules
and Regulations of the Authority. The owner shall install a sampling
manhole in accordance with the detail included in Appendix SB, Standard
Details. The Authority shall be supplied with a report every three
months showing operating data of the pretreatment facility.
