discharged any unpolluted waters, such as stormwater, groundwater,
roof runoff, subsurface drainage or cooling water, to any sewer, except
stormwater runoff from limited areas, which stormwater may be polluted
at times, may be discharged to the sanitary sewer by permission of
the Superintendent of Public Works.
Stormwater, other than that exempted under § 180-34, and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers or storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent of Public Works and other regulatory agencies. Unpolluted industrial cooling water or process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent of Public Works, to a storm sewer, combined sewer or natural outlet. It should be noted that any cooling water discharge must also apply for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and that such discharges are subject to state and federal regulations.
No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be
discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any
public sewers:
A.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other
flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
B.
Any waters containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
other wastes, to injure or interfere with any waste treatment process,
to constitute a hazard to humans or animals, to create a public nuisance
or to create any hazard in the receiving waters of the wastewater
treatment plant.
C.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or
having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard
to structures, equipment and personnel of the wastewater works.
D.

ground by garbage grinders.
The following described substances, materials,
waters or wastes shall be limited in discharges to municipal systems
to concentrations or quantities which will not harm either the sewers
or the wastewater treatment process or equipment, will not have an
adverse effect on the receiving stream or will not otherwise endanger
lives, limb or public property or constitute a nuisance. The Superintendent
of Public Works may set limitations lower than the limitations established
in the regulations below if, in his opinion, such more severe limitations
are necessary to meet the above objectives. In forming his opinion
as to acceptability, the Superintendent will give consideration to
such factors as the quantity of subject waste in relation to flows
and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers,
the wastewater treatment process employed, capacity of the wastewater
treatment plant, degree of treatability of the waste in the wastewater
treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The limitations or restrictions
on materials or characteristics of wastes or wastewaters discharged
to the sanitary sewer which shall not be violated without approval
of the Superintendent of Public Works are as follows:
A.
Wastewater containing heat in amounts which will accelerate
the biodegradation of wastes, causing the formation of excessive amounts
of hydrogen sulfide in the wastewater sewer, or inhibit biological
activity in the wastewater treatment facilities, but in no case shall
the discharge of heat cause the temperature in the wastewater sewer
to exceed 65.5° C. (150° F.) or the temperature of the influent
to the treatment facilities to exceed 40° C. (104° F.), unless
the facilities can accommodate such heat.
B.
Wastewater having a five-day BOD greater than 300
parts per million by weight or more than 350 parts per million by
weight of suspended solids or more than 15 parts per million of chlorine
demand or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average
daily flow of the Village, unless reviewed and approved by the Village.
C.
Wastewater containing nonbiodegradable fats, wax,
grease or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams
per liter or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous
at temperatures between 32° F. and 150° F. (0° C. and
65° C.).
D.
Wastewater from industrial plants containing floatable
oils, fat or grease.
E.
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. (See § 180-15A.) Garbage grinders may be connected to sanitary sewers from homes, hotels, institutions, restaurants, hospitals, catering establishments or similar places where garbage originates from the preparation of food in kitchens for the purpose of consumption of the premises or when served by caterers.
F.
Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to
injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, to constitute
a hazard to humans or animals, to create a toxic effect in the receiving
waters of the wastewater treatment works or to exceed the limitation
set forth in a categorical pretreatment standard. A toxic pollutant
shall include, but not be limited to, any pollutant identified pursuant
to § 307(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
