A. 
State and federal laws require that certain water quality standards be realized in order that the lakes, rivers and streams of our nation be suitable for such human activities as fishing and swimming and as a source for safe drinking water. As a result, improved treatment of municipal sewage has been ordered. The Village of Rothschild, Marathon County, Wisconsin, holds a permit to discharge effluent from its sewage treatment plant into the Wisconsin River. The treatment plant presently serves the Village of Rothschild and a portion of the Town of Weston Sanitary District pursuant to an order to do so issued by the State Department of Health.
B. 
In order that the Rothschild plant function as designated and meet the requirements of the discharge permit, the material it receives and treats must be controlled.
C. 
This article is created to provide for uniform standards for all users served in a manner that is free from discrimination and to ensure the costs to users for pretreatment are alike in each jurisdiction.
