This Part 1 sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect
contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment system for
the Village of Interlaken and enables the Village to comply with all
applicable state and federal laws. This Part 1 is intended to supplement
the prior Sewer Use Ordinance and when found to be in conflict with
said ordinance this Part 1 shall supersede said ordinance and apply.
This Part 1 shall also apply, control and supersede said ordinance
in any cases where the requirements and limitations of this Part 1
are more stringent than said ordinance.
A.
The objectives of this Part 1 are:
(1)
To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipality wastewater
system which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate
the resulting sludge.
(2)
To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater
system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into
receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with
the system.
(3)
To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and
sludges from the system.
(4)
To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the municipal
wastewater system.
B.
This Part 1 provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors
to the municipal wastewater system through the issuance of permits
to certain nondomestic users and through enforcement of general requirements
for the other users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities,
requires user reporting, assumes that existing customer's capacity
will not be preempted and provides for the setting of fees for the
equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established
herein.
This Part 1 shall apply to the Village of Interlaken and to
persons outside the Village who are, by contract or agreement with
the Village, users of the Village POTW. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Superintendent of the Village POTW shall administer, implement
and enforce the provisions of this Part 1.
