No person other than the owner or occupant of premises, or employees
of such owner or operator, shall remove sludge from any premises within
the City unless such person shall be licensed for such purpose by
the City Engineer.
Application for such license shall include the name and address of
the proposed licensee, the equipment proposed to be used for sludge
removal operations, the licensee's proposed method of operation,

liability for property damage through motor vehicle operation or business
operation in an amount not less than $25,000, said certificate to
be in form approved by the City Engineer.
If the City Engineer is satisfied that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and/or experience to perform sludge removal operations in
a safe and sanitary manner, and that the applicant has available the
necessary equipment to perform such work (which equipment shall include
containers for transportation which can be tightly closed so as to
prevent the escape of odor or liquid) and that the applicant conforms
with all other provisions of this chapter, the requested license shall
be issued.[1]

is to be performed and such other information as may be required by
the City Engineer.
Applications for such permit shall be made on forms supplied by the
City Engineer for that purpose, and the City Engineer may provide
different forms for residential, commercial or industrial properties,
and an application for connection of an industrial property shall
include a description of the estimated volume and the nature of the
discharge which will be made into the public sewer.
An application for a connection permit shall be presented with a
certificate certifying that the person submitting such application
is insured against liability for personal injury caused by motor vehicles
or business operations with limits of liability of not less than $100,000
and against liability for property damage with limits of liability
of not less than $25,000 which shall include liability or potential
liability for damage to the public sewer.
No person shall disconnect any building sewer or building from the
