For brevity and ease of communication, this chapter may be cited
as the "Town of Kent Sewer Use Law."
The general purpose of this chapter is the following: to provide
for efficient, economic, environmentally safe, and legal operation
of the Town of Kent publicly owned treatment works (POTW), including
the Kent Manor wastewater treatment plant and sewage collection system.
The specific purposes of this chapter are the following:
A.
To prevent the introduction of substances into the POTW that will:
(1)
Interfere with the POTW in any way; or
(2)
Pass through the POTW into the state's waters and cause contravention
of standards for those waters or cause violation of the POTW's
SPDES permit; or
(3)
Hamper the disposal of POTW's sludge and/or other residuals;
or
(4)
Endanger employees responsible for the operation, maintenance, and
repair of the POTW; or
(5)
Cause air pollution, or groundwater pollution, directly or indirectly;
or
(6)
Cause, directly or indirectly, any public nuisance condition.
B.
To prevent new sources of infiltration and inflow and, the extent
practicable, eliminate existing sources of infiltration and inflow.
C.
To ensure that new sewer connections are properly constructed.
Where this chapter references standards of design or construction,
such as but not limited to ASTM standards, ANSI standards, and Ten
States Standards, or NYCDEP, NYSDEC or USEPA regulation or standards,
such reference will be to the latest edition of any such standard
or regulation.
