No user shall introduce or cause the introduction of any pollutant
or wastewater into the wastewater collection and treatment system

Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic substances in such
quantities which, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants,
will cause interference with the wastewater treatment process, constitute
a hazard to humans or animals or create a public nuisance.
E.
Stormwater, surface water, groundwater or any other unaltered water.
No user shall introduce or cause the introduction of the following
pollutants, substances or wastewater into the wastewater collection

in concentrations greater than 0.005 mg/l on a grab-sample basis.
F.
Other noxious or malodorous liquids, gases and solids which, either
singly or by interaction with other wastes, are sufficient to create
a public nuisance or a hazard to humans.
G.
Wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes except in
compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.
H.
Wastewater having a pH lower than 6.0 SU or greater than 9.0 SU.
I.
Wastewater containing unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids,
including but not limited to fuller's earth, clasp, lime slurries
and lime residue, or of dissolved solids detrimental to the wastewater
collection and treatment system.
J.
Wastewater with excessive coloration which cannot be removed by the
treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable
tanning solution.
K.
Pollutants with an unusually high oxygen demand or chlorine requirement
which may interfere with the wastewater treatment process.
L.
Wastewater with unusual volume or flow or concentrations of waste
constituting a slug as defined herein.
M.
Wastewater containing substances which are not treatable or cannot
be treated within effluent requirements of state or federal agencies.
N.
Any industrial wastewater from any industry or combination of industrial
wastewater or industries as may be necessary to ensure adequate treatment
and proper operation of the collection system.
All measurements, tests, and analysis of any pollutant or characteristic
of wastewater to which reference is made in this article shall be
determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," published by the American
Public Health Association.
No owner or user shall increase the use of process water or
in any manner attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete
substitute for treatment to achieve compliance with discharge prohibitions
unless expressly authorized by the Village by an applicable pretreatment
standard or requirement.
In the event any wastewater is discharged or proposed to be
discharged which is prohibited or prohibitive in this article, the
Village shall provide written notice:
In the event the Village requires pretreatment or flow equalization
of wastewater, the Village shall notify the owner or user responsible
for the discharge, in writing, of those pollutants or characteristics
of the wastewater and the sections of this chapter which form the
bases for requiring pretreatment or flow equalization. The owner or
user shall respond to the Village, in writing, within 60 days of Village
notice, identifying the course of action proposed by the owner or
user to comply with the requirements of the Village and this chapter.
In the event the owner or user fails to provide a written response within 60 days of the Village notice, the Village shall notify the owner or user, in writing, that service will be terminated within 30 days unless the owner or user provides the written response required in § 340-45 above. In the event the owner or user fails to respond in writing, the Village may take such action as is necessary to terminate the discharge.
A.
Plans and specifications. Where the Village authorizes pretreatment
or flow equalization, the owner or user responsible for the discharge
shall submit plans and specifications to the Village and the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources for review and approval.
B.
Maintenance of facilities. Where pretreatment or flow equalization
facilities are provided, they shall be installed at the owner's expense
and continually maintained and effectively operated by the owner or
user at their expense.
A.
Flow restrictions. Whenever deemed necessary, the Village may require
users to restrict their discharges during peak flow periods, designate
that certain wastewater be discharged into specific sewers, relocate
and consolidate discharge points, separate waste streams and other
conditions as may be necessary to protect the collection and treatment
system and ensure compliance with this chapter.
B.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors. Grease, oil and sand interceptors
shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Village, they are necessary
for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts
of grease, oil or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be
required for residential users. All interceptor units shall be of
a type and capacity approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources, and/or Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional
Services, 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 their expense.
Any owner or user discharging industrial wastewater constituting
less than 1.5% of each of the treatment plant design parameters of
volume, BOD and suspended solids shall install a suitable control
manhole in compliance with Chapter SPS 383, Wis. Adm. Code. The control
manhole shall be installed by the owner or user at their expense and
shall be maintained as to be safe and accessible at all times.
Any owner or user discharging industrial wastewater constituting
more than 1.5% of each of the design parameters of volume, BOD and
suspended solids during any twenty-four-hour period or total flow
is equal to or greater that 50,000 gallons per average workday shall
install a special control manhole. A special control manhole may also
be required by the Village in the event the industrial wastewater
contains a fluid or solid not reflected by pH, volume, BOD or suspended
solids.
The design of the special control manhole shall be approved
by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Village prior
to installation. The special control manhole shall consist of a manhole
on the discharge line with a volume-measuring device and a separate
structure for housing volume-recording instruments and an automatic
proportional sampler. The sampler shall automatically collect samples
of the waste in proportion to volume. The Village shall record volume
and operate the automatic sampler on such occasions as deemed necessary
to develop a basis for service charges. The owner or user shall design,
construct, operate and maintain the special control manhole at their
expense. The location and access to the special control manhole shall
be as provided in Chapter SPS 383, Wis. Adm. Code.
In the event the Village requires a special control manhole for monitoring waste or the Village requires connection of currently unmonitored wastes to existing special control manholes, the Village shall notify the owner or user responsible for the discharge, in writing, the sections of this chapter which form the bases for requiring a special control manhole. The owner or user shall respond to the Village, in writing, within 60 days of Village notice, identifying the course of action proposed by the owner or user to comply with the requirements of the Village and this chapter. In the event the owner or user fails to provide a written response within 60 days' notice, the Village shall notify the owner or user that service will be terminated pursuant to the procedures in § 340-46 of this chapter.
No provision in this article shall be construed as to prohibit
or limit the Village from entering into a special use agreement between
the Village and an owner or user whereby a pollutant, characteristic
of wastewater or volume of wastewater otherwise prohibited may be
accepted by the Village for collection and treatment subject to payment
by the owner or user, provided the agreement is not in conflict with
the intent or user rates established in this chapter.
No person shall damage, break, deface or destroy any structure,
appurtenance or equipment which is part of the Village sewage collection
and treatment system. No person shall uncover or otherwise tamper
with any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is part of the
Village sewage collection or treatment system without the express
authorization of the Village.
