If any waters or wastes discharged or proposed to be discharged
to the public sewers or at the wastewater treatment facility contain
substances or possess characteristics which, in the judgment of the
Village, may have deleterious effects upon the wastewater treatment
facility, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise
create a hazard to life or health or constitute a public nuisance,
the Village may:
B. Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to
the public sewers.
C. Require a control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
D. Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer service charges under the provisions of Article
V of this chapter.
Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be
required by the Village if this volume cannot be determined. Where
required by the Village, metering devices for determining the volume
of water shall be installed, owned, and maintained by the person discharging
the wastewater. Following approval and installation, such meters may
not be removed without the consent of the Village.
When required, in the opinion of the Village, to modify or eliminate
wastes that are harmful to the structures, processes, or operation
of the wastewater treatment facility, the discharger shall provide
at its expense such preliminary treatment or processing facilities
as may be required to render its wastes acceptable for admission to
the public sewers.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided by the industrial
discharger and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible
for cleaning and Village inspection. In the maintaining of these interceptors,
the discharger shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal
by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records
of the dates and means of disposal which are subject to review by
the Village. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not
performed by the discharger's personnel must be performed by currently
licensed disposal firms.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters, wastes, and hauled waste to which reference is made in
this chapter shall be determined in accordance with Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American
Public Health Association, and Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures
for the Analysis of Pollutants (1978, 40 CFR 136). Sampling methods,
locations, times, durations, and frequencies are to be determined
on an individual basis by the Village. The cost of lab analysis will
be the responsibility of the user. The Village will make the analyses
of the wastes (at the user's cost) and these determinations shall
be used as a basis for calculation of user charges.
Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating
to proposed flow equalization, pretreatment, or processing facilities
shall be submitted for review by the Village prior to the start of
their construction if the effluent from such facilities is to be discharged
into the public sewers.
Industries desiring to make a new connection to a public sewer
for the purpose of discharging industrial process wastes shall prepare
and file with the Village a report that shall include actual or predicted
data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the waste to
be discharged.
When it can be demonstrated that circumstances exist which would
create an unreasonable burden on the person proposing to discharge
a waste to comply with the time schedule imposed herein, a request
for extension of the time may be presented for consideration by the
Village Board.
