All measurements, tests and analyses the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in Article
V et seq. shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted engineering and chemical principles, as approved by the Superintendent, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in §
150-22E, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been constructed, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sanitary sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
To determine the sewage flow from any establishment,
the Village may use one of the following methods:
A. The amount of water supplied to the premises by the
Village or a private water company as shown upon the water meter if
the premises are metered.
B. The number of gallons of sewage discharged, into the
sewer system as determined by measurements taken with a wastewater
flow meter.
C. A figure determined by the Village of any combination
of the foregoing or by any other equitable method.
Notwithstanding §§
150-22A and
B, where the strength of sewage from a nondomestic user of the POTW system exceeds 250 mg/l of either BOD or suspended solids or other prohibited waste discharge, such wastes, in the sole discretion of the Village, may be permitted to be discharged to the POTW by the Village, if the Village can adequately treat such wastes. In all such cases, an added charge, as noted below, will be made against such establishment according to the strength of such wastes. The strength of such wastes shall be determined by appropriate sampling methods taken over a sufficient period of time to ensure a representative sample. At the discretion of the Superintendent, analysis of samples shall be made by an independent laboratory. The costs of this sampling and analysis shall be borne by the user, whether owner or lessee. Added charges shall be determined by the Village of Middleport. These charges shall be based upon the cost of operation, maintenance, depreciation, amortization plus sufficient coverage for the POTW, and may contain a surcharge to the user over and above the actual cost to the Village in an amount to be established by the Village. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to require the Village to accept any such waste.
