[Ord. No. 544 §2-1, 2-7-2005]
A.
The
admission into the POTW of any wastewater containing any quantity
of pollutant shall be subject to review and approval of the Director.
Where necessary, in the opinion of the Director, the owner of the
property or premises producing such waste shall provide, at his/her
expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce
pollution or certain pollutants to within the maximum limits provided
for in this Chapter or to control the quantities or rates of discharge
of such wastewaters.
B.
Construction
drawings, specifications and other pertinent information relating
to the proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be prepared
by the owner at his/her expense and shall be submitted for the approval
of the Director and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced
until such approvals are obtained in writing. Construction shall be
in accordance with such approved plans.
C.
Where
preliminary treatment facilities are provided, they shall be maintained
continuously in effective operation by the owner at his/her expense.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-2, 2-7-2005]
A.
The
owner of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy,
employment, recreation or other purpose, situated in the City or in
any area where there is an availability of sewers in a jurisdiction
with which the City has an interjurisdictional sewage treatment agreement
and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is
now located or may in the future be located a sanitary sewer of the
City, is hereby required, at his/her expense, to install suitable
toilet facilities therein and to connect such facilities directly
with the proper sanitary sewer in accordance with the provisions of
this Chapter within ninety (90) days after sewer service is available,
provided such sanitary sewer is within two hundred (200) feet, measured
along a street, alley or easement, of the property line. If there
is no sanitary sewer within two hundred (200) feet of the property
line, the owner may request permission of the City to construct and
maintain an adequate septic tank installation until such time as a
sanitary sewer is made available.
B.
No
person shall make any connection to the POTW, either direct or indirect,
without written permission from the Director or reconnect wastewater
services when such services have been disconnected for non-payment
of a bill for wastewater services unless such bill for wastewater
services, including charges for disconnection, has been paid in full.
C.
No
person shall tap into any sanitary sewer line of the POTW except by
using an approved tapping machine and an approved connection fitting
unless otherwise approved by the Director. The Director shall develop
reasonable rules and regulations on tapping and connecting procedures.
These rules and regulations shall take force and effect five (5) days
after the rules and regulations shall be filed in the office of the
City Clerk.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-3, 2-7-2005]
No person shall discharge any wastewater or pollutant directly
into a manhole or other opening of the POTW, other than through an
approved building sewer, unless he/she shall have been given written
permission to do so by the Director.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-4, 2-7-2005]
The Director may, after informal notice to the discharger, take
whatever steps are reasonably necessary to immediately temporarily
suspend a user's sewer use permit or impose temporary restrictions
on discharges or halt and prevent the discharge of pollutants to the
POTW which reasonably appear to present an immediate endangerment
to the health or welfare of persons. If the Director determines that
an industrial user's discharge to the POTW does not present an immediate
endangerment to the health or welfare of persons but presents or may
present an endangerment to the environment or threatens to interfere
with the operation of the POTW, he/she shall notify the discharger
in writing setting forth sufficient facts to describe the violation
and allowing a reasonable period of time, which shall be stated in
the notice, to respond or to abate or correct the violation and if
the response or actions of the discharger do not result in abatement
and correction within such period of time, the Director may take action
as reasonably necessary to halt or prevent the discharge.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-5, 2-7-2005]
A.
Holding tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the Director and at such times as are established by the Director. Such waste shall not violate Article III of this Chapter or any other requirements established by the City. The Director may require holding tank waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
B.
The
Director shall require haulers of industrial waste to obtain wastewater
discharge permits. The Director may require generators of hauled industrial
waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Director also may
prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of
hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this
Chapter.
C.
Industrial
waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by
the Director. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the
Director. The Director may collect samples of each hauled load to
ensure compliance with applicable standards. The Director may require
the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load
prior to discharge.
D.
Industrial
waste haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This
form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial
waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses
of sources of waste and volume and characteristics of waste. The form
shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents
and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-6, 2-7-2005]
The Director is hereby authorized to determine the cost to receive,
test and administer wastewater which is trucked or hauled to the POTW.
The Director shall file such cost determinations with the City Clerk
with notice to the Board of Aldermen and the City thereafter shall
charge for such services in accordance with the amount so filed, unless
countermanded by a resolution of the Board of Aldermen.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-7, 2-7-2005]
The Director shall dispose of all treated sludges and other
by-products of the POTW. He/she may sell such sludges and other by-products
to such persons as may desire to purchase the sludges and by-products
and shall determine a schedule of charges and provide for the collection
of such charges. He/she shall account monthly to the City Collector
for such sales.
[Ord. No. 544 §2-8, 2-7-2005]
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided at the user's
expense when the Director determines that they are necessary for the
proper handling of wastewater containing grease or any flammable wastes,
sand and other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors
shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units.
All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Director
and shall be so located as to be readily accessible for cleaning and
inspection. Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious
materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature.
They shall be of substantial construction, watertight and equipped
with easily removable covers which when butted in place shall be gastight
and watertight. When installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors
shall be maintained by the user, at his/her expense, in continuously
efficient operation.
