The general purpose of this chapter is to provide for efficient,
economic, environmentally safe, and legal operation of the Village

of standards for those waters or cause violation of the POTW's NYS
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit;
(3) Increase the cost or otherwise hamper the disposal of POTW sludge
and/or residuals;
(4) Endanger municipal employees;
(5) Cause air pollution or groundwater pollution, directly or indirectly;
(6) Cause, directly or indirectly, any public nuisance condition; or
(7) To provide a means of protection of and control over the public sewer
system.
B. To prevent new sources of infiltration and inflow and, as much as
possible, eliminate existing sources of infiltration and inflow.
C. To assure that new sewers and connections are properly constructed.
D. To provide for equitable distribution to all users of the POTW of
all costs associated with sewage transmission, treatment, and residual
disposal, and to provide for the collection of such costs.
