This chapter shall be known as the "Sewer Use
Local Law."
It is the purpose of this chapter to protect
the sewage collection and treatment facilities, to prevent danger
to life or damage to property, to promote the health, safety and general
welfare, to prohibit the introduction of storm-, surface or subsurface
waters into the sanitary sewers to provide background for the fair
distribution of treatment costs, to provide for the collection of
the same, to form a basis and policy for controlling of wastes accepted
into the joint Manchester Shortsville Joint Sewerage System and to
provide for the administration of said system.
