Examination of Water 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 methods 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-hour composite
of all outfalls of a premises 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-hour composites of all
outfalls whereas pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.)
J. No statement contained in this Article shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the City of Waverly and
any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength
or character may be accepted by the City of Waverly for treatment,
subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern.
