The wastewater discharged by the service area will be treated
at the Village Wastewater Treatment Facility. Therefore, the Village
of Blue Mounds Sewer Use Ordinance governs these discharges to the
sewage system. No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any unpolluted waters, including but not limited to stormwater, groundwater,
roof runoff, subsurface drainage, or cooling water to any sanitary
sewer.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or
cause to be discharged any of the following described water or waters
to any public sewer:
A. Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid, or gas.
B. Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids,
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
other wastes, to injure or interfere with any waste treatment process
that constitutes a hazard to humans or animals, creates a public nuisance,
or creates any hazard in or has an adverse effect on the waters receiving
any discharge from the wastewater treatment facility.
C. Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or higher than 9.0,
or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or
hazard to structures, equipment, and personnel of the wastewater collection
or treatment facility.
D. Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such size capable
of causing obstruction to the flow in public sewers, or other interference
with the proper operation of the wastewater collection and treatment
facilities, including but not limited to ashes, cinders, sand, mud,
straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood,
unground garbage, whole blood, hair and fleshings, entrails, paper
dishes, cups, milk containers, diapers, feminine protection products,
contraceptive devices, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
E. The following described substances, materials, waters, or waste shall
be limited in discharges to municipal sanitary sewage systems to concentrations
or quantities that will not harm either the sanitary sewer or wastewater
treatment process or equipment; will not have an adverse effect on
the receiving stream; will not otherwise endanger lives, limb, or
public property; and will not constitute a nuisance. The Village may
set limitations lower than the limitations established in the regulations
below if in its opinion such more severe limitations are necessary
to meet the above objectives. In forming an opinion as to the acceptability,
the Village will give consideration to such factors as the quantity
of subject waste in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers,
materials of construction of the sewers, the wastewater treatment
process employed, capacity of the waste in wastewater treatment facility,
degree of treatability of the waste in the wastewater treatment facility,
and other pertinent factors. The following limitations or restrictions
on materials or characteristics of waste or wastewater discharged
to the sanitary sewer shall not be violated without approval of the
Village:
(1) Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150° F. (65°
C.).
(2) Wastewater containing more than 25 milligrams per liter of petroleum
oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oils, or product of mineral oil origin.
(3) Any water or waste that may contain more than 100 mg/l of fat, oil,
or grease.
(4) Any garbage that has not been properly shredded by a garbage grinder
or disposal.
(5) Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc, mercury,
and similar objectionable or toxic substances to such degree that
any material received in the composite wastewater at the wastewater
treatment facility exceeds the limits established by federal, state,
or local authorities or by the Village for such materials.
(6) Any waters or wastes containing odor-producing substances exceeding
limits that may be established by local authorities or by the Village.
(7) Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by applicable state or federal regulation.
(8) Quantities of flow, concentrations, or both that constitute a "slug"
as defined herein.
(9) Water or wastes containing substances that are not amenable to treatment
or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed or that
are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the wastewater
treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies
having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
(10)
Any water or wastes that, by interaction with other water or
wastes in the public sanitary sewage system, release obnoxious gases,
form suspended solids that interfere with the collection system, or
create a condition deleterious to structures and treatment processes.
(11)
Materials that exert or cause:
(a)
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand or in such quantities as
to constitute a significant load on the wastewater treatment plant.
(b)
Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting
a "slug" as defined herein.
(c)
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (including
but not limited to Fuller's earth, lime slurries, and lime residues)
or of dissolved solids (including but not limited to sodium sulfate).
(d)
Excessive discoloration (including, but not limited to, dye
wastes and vegetable tanning solutions).
(12)
Incompatible pollutants in excess of the allowed limits as determined
by federal, state, or local laws and regulations in reference to pretreatment
standards developed by the Environmental Protection Agency, 40 CFR
403.
F. No wastewater, regardless or character, shall be discharged to the
sewage system in such a manner as to interfere with the designed operation
of the wastewater treatment facility or to cause the wastewater treatment
facility to exceed the limits presented by the WPDES Permit No. WI-0031650-4.
G. It shall be unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault,
septic tank, holding tank, cesspool, or other facility intended or
used for the disposal of sewage or wastewater without permission of
the Village.
Whenever premises served by the sewage system are to be vacated,
or whenever any person desires to discontinue service from the system,
the Village must be notified in writing. The owner of the premises
shall be liable for any damages to the property of the system other
than through the fault of the sewage system or its employees, representatives,
or agents.
