No User of the POTW or User of a system tributary to the County POTW shall discharge Unpolluted Waters into the Sanitary Sewer except with the permission of the Director pursuant to a properly issued Permit or written approval. Unpolluted Waters shall include, but not be limited to, any Stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated Cooling Water, unpolluted industrial process water, lake, wetland, natural or man-made pond. No User of the County POTW or system tributary to the County POTW shall drain any lake, natural or man-made pond into a Combined Sewer except with the permission of the Director pursuant to a properly issued Permit or written approval. The Director may prohibit discharge to the Combined Sewer of part or all of Unpolluted Water sources when it is necessary to control the flow to minimize or eliminate downstream POTW capacity issues.
A. 
Any local government or entity responsible for sewer systems that are within a tributary of the County POTW shall be obligated to enforce User compliance to those regulations pertaining to exclusion of Unpolluted Waters herein.
B. 
In consideration of the prevalence of Inflow and Infiltration problems in Municipal Sewerage Systems, all local governments and entities responsible for said systems that discharge flows to the POTW shall commit to an Inflow and Infiltration abatement program. The local government or entity responsible for such tributary or satellite collection systems shall be required to document and provide to the District reasonable demonstration of an ongoing Inflow and Infiltration abatement program. Reasonable demonstration shall mean documentation of the effort and various methods so utilized to evaluate, repair, replace and rehabilitate sewers, manholes and laterals that are generating or have the potential to generate Inflow and Infiltration loading on the County POTW.
C. 
When there exists evidence, either in volume of discharge, or observation of a connection(s) from a source(s) of Unpolluted Water, in flows from local government collection systems, the County Sewer District shall levy an annual surcharge to that User in accordance with § 343-79C(2) herein.
A. 
If excessive volumes of Stormwater, surface water, groundwater, etc., are observed entering the Sanitary Sewer directly or by Inflow or Infiltration of the local Sanitary Sewer, the Director shall take the following actions:
(1) 
Written notice shall be given to the property owner and/or local government unit responsible for discharges, private or otherwise, into its collection system contributing excessive volumes of water. The local government unit shall be responsible for discharges, private or otherwise, into its collection system and therefore subject to charges as defined in § 343-79C herein.
(2) 
Within three months after notification to the property owner and/or government unit, a timetable for the elimination and/or control of the excessive water from direct discharge or from Inflow and Infiltration shall be filed with the Director for his/her approval.
(3) 
A property owner or local government unit failing to provide said timetable or not substantially complying with the scheduled abatement of excessive direct discharge or from Inflow and Infiltration pursuant to the timetable filed with the Director shall be surcharged for the excessive water in accordance with § 343-79C(1) or (2) herein, until compliance is achieved. Payment of the surcharge for excessive flow is not to be construed as a substitute for compliance and any other applicable enforcement actions.
B. 
A local government, responsible for a Municipal Sewerage System that discharges flows to the POTW, which has an I&I abatement program approved by the Director, may be exempt from the excessive flow surcharge defined in Article XI, § 343-79C, provided that the I&I abatement program is effective and ongoing.
