person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described
substances, materials, waters, or wastes if it appears likely in the
opinion of the Superintendent that such wastes can harm either the
sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment, have an adverse effect
on the receiving stream, or can otherwise endanger life, limb, public
property, or constitute a nuisance. In forming his/her opinion as
to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the Superintendent will give consideration
to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes in relation to
flows and velocities in the sewers, materials, of construction of
the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of the
sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the sewage
treatment plant, and other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited
are:
1. Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than one hundred
fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150°F) (65°C).

emulsified or not, in excess of 100 mg/l or containing substances
which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between thirty-two

similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement, to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
6. Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of State, Federal, or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving water.
7. Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable State or Federal regulations.
8. Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
9. Materials which exert or cause:
a. Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not
limited to, Fullers earth, lime slurries, and lime residues) or of
dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium sulfate).
b. Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
c. Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand, or chlorine requirements in
such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
d. Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting "slugs" as defined herein.
10. Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to
treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment process employed, or
are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving water.
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VI §5, 2-25-1992]
A. If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Section
725.120 and which in the judgment of the Superintendent, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life to constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
2. Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to
the public sewers.
3. Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
4. Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of Section
725.180.
B. If
the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste
flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent, and subject
to the requirements of all applicable costs, ordinances, and law.
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VI §6, 2-25-1992]
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper
handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts,
or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients; except
that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters
or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of the type and capacity
approved by the Inspector, and shall be located as to be readily and
easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VI §7, 2-25-1992]
Where preliminary treatment or flow equalizing facilities are
provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously
in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his/her expense.

When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property
serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install
a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and
other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required,
shall be accessible and safely located, and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. The manhole
shall be installed by the owner at his/her expense, and shall be maintained
by him/her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VI §9, 2-25-1992]
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Chapter shall
be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods
for the Examination of Waste 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, 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 method to reflect
the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine
the existence of hazards to life, limb, and property. (The particular
analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four (24) hour composite
of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample
or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended
solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites
of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples).
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VI §10, 2-25-1992]
No statement contained in this Chapter shall be construed as
preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the City and
any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength
or character may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to
payment therefore, by the industrial concern.
[Ord. No. 226 Art. VII §1, 2-25-1992]

to inquire into any processes including metallurgical, chemical, oil,
refining, ceramic, paper, or other industries beyond that point having
a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers
or waterways or facilities for waste treatment.
B. While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in Subsection
(A) above, the Superintendent or duly authorized employees of the City shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the company and the company shall be held harmless for injury or death to the City employees and the City shall indemnify the company against loss or damage to its property by City employees and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and growing out of the gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required in Section
725.160.
C. The
Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the City bearing
proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter
all private properties through which the City holds a duly negotiated
easement for the purpose of, but not limited to, inspection, observation,
measurement, sampling, repair and maintenance of any portion of the
sewage works lying within said easement. All entry and subsequent
work, if any, on said easement, shall be done in full accordance with
the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining to the private
property involved.
