No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described liquid or solid wastes to any sanitary sewer or
wastewater treatment facility:
A. Any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff or surface
drainage or any other connections from inflow sources to the sanitary
sewer. Such waters may be discharged to a storm sewer or other waterway
with permission of the Village.
B. Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, lubricating oil or other
flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas or other substances which
by themselves or by interaction with other substance may cause fire
or explosion hazards or in any other way be injurious to persons,
property, or the operation of the wastewater facilities.
C. Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous substances in
sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes,
which will injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process,
constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance
in the receiving water or the wastewater treatment plant, or interfere
with the disposal of sludge.
D. Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than six or having any other
corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures,
equipment, personnel, or the wastewater facility.
E. Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.
F. Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such size capable
of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference
with the proper operation of the wastewater facilities, such as, but
not limited to, ashes, cinders, sand, rocks, mud, straw, shavings,
metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, whole blood, paunch
manure, hair or fleshings, entrails, and paper dishes, cups, milk
containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
G. Any discharge into the sanitary sewerage system that is in violation
of the requirements of the WPDES permit and the modifications thereof.
H. Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150° F. or causing
the influent wastewater at the treatment facility to exceed 104°
F.
I. Any waters or wastes which may contain more than 100 parts per million by weight of oils, fat, or grease. Furthermore, all restaurants are required to install and maintain grease interceptors as defined in §
238-39 of this chapter and in accordance with the Wisconsin Plumbing Code.
J. Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. Garbage grinders
may be connected to sanitary sewers from homes, hotels, institutions,
restaurants, hospitals, catering establishments, or similar places
where garbage originates from the preparation of food in kitchens
for the purpose of consumption on the premises or when served by caterers.
K. Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc, mercury,
and similar objectionable or toxic substances to such degree that
any such material received in the composite wastewater at the treatment
facility exceeds the limits established by the Village for such materials.
L. Any waters or wastes containing odor-producing substances exceeding
limits which may be established by the Village.
M. Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Village in compliance with
applicable state or federal regulations.
N. Quantities of flow, concentrations, or both which constitute a slug
load as defined herein.
O. Incompatible pollutants containing substances which are not amenable
to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed,
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the wastewater
treatment facility effluent cannot meet the requirements of other
agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
P. Any waters or wastes which, by interaction with other waters or wastes
in the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases, form suspended
solids which interfere with the collection system, or create a condition
deleterious to structures and treatment processes.
Q. Materials which exert or cause:
(1) Unusually high BOD5 (greater than 225 mg/l),
suspended solids (greater than 260 mg/l), or phosphorus (greater than
13 mg/l) requirements, such as, but not limited to, whey in such quantities
as to constitute a significant load on the wastewater treatment facility.
(2) Unusual flow or concentrated wastes constituting a slug load as defined
herein.
(3) Unusually high concentration of inert suspended solids (such as,
but not limited to, fuller's earth, lime slurries, and lime residues)
or of dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium sulfate).
(4) Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
No person or licensed disposer shall dispose of hauled waste

Natural Resources and in order to reduce chloride in wastewater treated
in the wastewater treatment facility, the following rule is created
with regard to water softener installation.
(1)
Water softeners. All new or replacement water softeners installed
in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings
within the Village limits and served by the Village wastewater treatment
facility shall be "demand based" water softeners, Water softeners
functioning only at predetermined time intervals shall no longer be

(2)
The provisions of Subsection (A)(1) shall become effective the
first day of October, 2019.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as
prohibiting any special agreement between the Village and any person
whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be
admitted to the wastewater treatment facility, either before or after
pretreatment, provided that there is no impairment of the functioning
of the wastewater treatment facility by reason of the admission of
such wastes and no extra costs are incurred by the Village.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural waterway within
the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of the Village any
sewage or other polluted waters without first obtaining a Wisconsin
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit.
