A. 
Required facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part 4 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, City limits, Authority limits and the prohibitions set forth in § 274-18 within the time limitations specified by EPA, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Manager of Water Resources or the Authority, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense.[1]

B. 
Plans, specifications, etc. Detailed plans describing a user's proposed wastewater pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Manager of Water Resources and the Authority for review and approval before such facilities are constructed. Review and approval of plans are not an endorsement of the effectiveness of any facilities set forth therein and the City, the Township and the Authority shall not be held liable or responsible in any way for the performance of said facilities. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility for modifying such facilities and procedures as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the Authority under the provisions of this Part 4 and to the City under corresponding City ordinances.[2]

C. 
Reduction, loss or failure of treatment facility. Users shall control production of all discharges to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with categorical pretreatment standards upon reduction, loss, or failure of a user's treatment facility until the facility is restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided. This requirement applies in the situation where, among other things, the primary source of power of the treatment facility is reduced, lost or fails.
A. 
In general. Whenever deemed necessary, the Authority or the Manager of Water Resources may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods and designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the sewer system and the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this Part 4.[1]

B. 
Flow equalization. The Authority or the Manager of Water Resources may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on his property and at his expense, a suitable storage and flow control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.[2]

C. 
Grease, oil and sand interception. Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Authority or the Manager of Water Resources, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand, except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved by the Authority and the Manager of Water Resources, and shall be so located as to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at the user's expense.[3]

D. 
Combustible gas detection meters. Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
A. 
Requirement of plan. At least once every two years, the Manager of Water Resources and/or the Authority shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan. The Authority or the Manager of Water Resources may require any user to develop, submit for approval to both the Authority and the Manager of Water Resources and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the Authority or the Manager of Water Resources may develop such a plan for any user, which shall be implemented by the user.[1]

(5) 
No connection shall be made at any time between a tap or outlet furnishing potable water on any premises and any container or equipment holding material by any means other than an open connection.
