It shall be unlawful for any person to place,
deposit or permit to be deposited in any unsanitary manner on public
or private property within the Borough or in any area under the jurisdiction
of the Borough any sanitary sewage or industrial waste, except as
provided in this chapter.
[Amended 5-9-1990 by Ord. No. 7-1990]
It shall be unlawful to discharge into any natural
outlet within the municipality any wastewater or other polluted waters,
except where suitable treatment has been provided and where a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit has been obtained from
the appropriate governmental authority, where required.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, swimming pool water, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted
industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer, except with the prior
written consent of both the municipality and the PVSC. Stormwater
and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers
as are specifically designated as storm drains or to a natural outlet
approved by the Engineer. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process
water may be discharged, on approval of the Engineer, to a storm drain
or natural outlet.
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 §
479-48 and which, in the judgment of the Engineer, may have a deleterious effect upon sewerage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Engineer may:
B. Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for
discharge to the public sewers.
C. Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
D. Require payment to cover the added cost of handling
and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges
under the provisions of this chapter. If the Engineer 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 Engineer and subject to the requirements of all applicable
codes, ordinances and laws.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Engineer, 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 Engineer and shall be located as to be readily and
easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
