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:
A. 
Rejecting the wastewater;
B. 
Requiring pretreatment of the wastewater to an acceptable condition prior to the discharge to the collection system;
C. 
Requiring flow equalization of the rate of discharge; and/or
D. 
Requiring payment to cover the additional costs and expenses of collecting and treating the wastewater which are not covered by the sewer user charges in Article IX of this chapter.
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.
