CC 1988 §29-151]
A.
Persons
discharging or causing to be discharged industrial wastes which exhibit
any of the prohibited wastes set out herein before shall pretreat
or otherwise dispose of such industrial waste to make the remaining
waste acceptable to the City Administrator.
B.
Persons discharging or causing to be discharged industrial wastes which exhibit none of the characteristics of wastes prohibited in Article V and which in the opinion of the City Administrator constitutes excessive contribution of flow quantity to the treatment facilities shall be required to pretreat the industrial wastes and discharge an effluent of acceptable quality to other than the public sanitary sewer system if such separate sewer is available.
[R.O. 2008 §710.450; Code 1968 §28-41; CC 1988
§29-152]
No gasoline filling station, garage, refining plant, chemical
plant, packing house, slaughterhouse, lard rendering establishment,
dairy, or any other establishment from which any substance would be
discharged into the sewers that would tend to obstruct or damage the
sewers or cause a nuisance or endanger the public health or safety
or endanger persons who might be in such sewers, shall be connected
with any public sewer, except through grease, oil or sand interceptors.
All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the City
Administrator, shall be located as to be readily accessible for cleaning
and inspection and shall be maintained and operated in a manner acceptable
to the City Administrator.
[R.O. 2008 §710.460; Code 1968 §28-43; CC 1988
§29-153]
In order to control the admission of industrial wastes into
the public sewer, any person desiring to deposit or discharge an industrial
waste mixture into the sewer or sewerage works of the City, or any
sewer connected therewith, shall make application to the City Administrator
for a permit therefor, upon application forms to be obtained from
the City Administrator.
[R.O. 2008 §710.470; Code 1968 §28-44; CC 1988
§29-154]
The owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying
industrial wastes shall provide and maintain in a suitable accessible
location on his/her premises, or such premises occupied by him/her,
an inspection chamber or manhole, into which all wastes from drain,
pipe channel or connection which communicates with any sewer or sewerage
works of the City, shall discharge, unless specifically exempted in
writing by the City Administrator. Such manhole or inspection chamber
shall be of such design and construction which will facilitate observation,
sampling and measurement of the wastes and will prevent infiltration
by ground and surface waters. Such manholes shall be accessibly and
safely located, shall be constructed by the owner at his/her expense
in accordance with plans approved by the City Administrator and shall
be maintained by the owner at his/her expense.
[R.O. 2008 §710.480; Code 1968 §28-45; CC 1988
§29-155]
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics
of water and wastes to which reference, is made in this Title 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 and shall be determined at the control manhole
provided or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In
the event that no special manhole has been required by the City Administrator,
the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream
manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer
is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted
methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works
and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property.
[R.O. 2008 §710.490; Code 1968 §28-46; CC 1988
§29-156]
Sampling of the effluent or waste discharges may be accomplished
manually or by use of mechanical equipment to obtain a composite sample
which would be representative of the total effluent. Samples shall
be taken at intervals determined by the City Administrator as necessary
to maintain a control over the discharge from the establishment. The
City shall have the right to enter and set up on company property
such devices or equipment necessary to conduct a gauging and sampling
operation and to begin such operation upon presentation of proper
identification on arrival without advance notice to the company.
