[Code 1966, § 23.13; Ord. No. 738, §§ I, II, 6-15-2004;
amended 2-16-2022 by Ord. No. 1004]
(a)
Computation of wastewater flow. The water consumption, as determined
from the meter records of the Village water utility, shall be the
basis for computing the wastewater flows, unless:
(1)
The water is contained in a product or is evaporated or is discharged
as unpolluted water or waste to surface drainage. In such cases, an
application may be made for a reduction in the volume of wastewater
discharged to the collection system, provided supporting data, satisfactory
to the Utility Director, is furnished. This data shall include a flow
diagram, destination of water and/or wastewater, supported by submetering
data, installed on such process piping, at the expense of the user.
(2)
The water is condensed from a product, so that the quantity
of wastewater is increased over the amount of water being metered.
In such cases, the increased flow shall be metered in a manner which
is acceptable to the Utility Director and added to the flow obtained
from the water meter readings.
(3)
The quantity of water used during the third billing quarter
at any single-family or duplex dwelling units producing domestic wastewater
and having a lawn in connection therewith, shall exceed the quantity
of water used during the second billing quarter of the calendar year.
In such cases, the meter reading for the second billing quarter shall
be used in determining the wastewater flow for such third billing
quarter; provided, however, that this section shall not be applied
to any premises where the water service was disconnected at any time
during the second billing quarter. The second billing quarter shall
be defined as the months of April, May and June.
(4)
When water for sprinkling lawns or filling swimming pools is
metered separately, no user charge will be made. All such metering
shall be at the user's expense.
(5)
Any lot, parcel of land, building or premises discharging domestic
wastewater or industrial waste into the collection system, which is
supplied in whole or in part with water not obtained from the water
utility, the owner or occupant of such property shall cause to be
installed necessary metering equipment as approved by the Utility
Director to measure the quantity of water pumped or discharged to
the collection system. The user charge shall be based on the quantity
of water so measured. Whenever the person fails to install such metering
equipment, or where it is not practicable to measure the water consumed
on any premises by a meter or meters, the Utility Director shall determine
the estimated volume of water discharged into the wastewater works.
(b)
Metering devices. The Utility Director may require the installation
of devices for metering the volume of waste discharged if those volumes
cannot otherwise be determined from metered water consumption records
or if flows from the sewer user are deemed by the Utility Director
to require flow metering devices. The metering devices shall be owned
and maintained by the person and may not be removed without consent
of the Utility Director.
(c)
Control manholes. All persons discharging industrial wastes into
the wastewater works shall construct and maintain sampling manholes
in suitable and accessible locations on public property or easement
to facilitate the observation, measurement and sampling of all his
wastes or wastewater. Sampling manholes shall be located and constructed
in a manner approved by the Utility Director. Plans shall be submitted
to the Utility Director prior to construction.
(d)
Sampling manholes. In the event the wastewater Utility Director determines
that a commercial property has or is likely to discharge commercial
wastes into the wastewater works in amounts or of a quality that would
make it beneficial for the wastewater works to have a sampling manhole
installed, then the property owner shall construct and maintain sampling
manholes in suitable and accessible locations on public property or
easement to facilitate the observation, measurement and sampling of
all his wastes or wastewater. Sampling manholes shall be located and
constructed in a manner approved by the Utility Director. Plans shall
be submitted to the Utility Director prior to construction.
[Code 1966, § 23.14; amended 2-16-2022 by Ord. No. 1004]
(a)
The Village will collect samples and perform laboratory tests on
industrial waste discharges as necessary to verify the quantity of
flow and character and concentration of an industrial waste. The utility
test results shall be used to determine the applicable surcharge.
(b)
Waste or wastewater discharge may be sampled manually or by the use of mechanical equipment, as necessary, to obtain a representative twenty-four-hour composite sample. Samples shall be taken at intervals to be established by contractual agreement under § 86-278 or at such intervals as determined by the Utility Director.
(c)
When Wis. Adm. Code § NR 101 or NR 202 require the submittal
of the character, and concentration of wastes, waste volume, and production
information to the utility or state department of natural resources
(DNR), the user shall have the waste character and concentration determined
by an independent testing laboratory. A copy of the test results and
DNR reports shall be submitted to the Utility Director.
(d)
All measurements, test analysis of the characteristics of industrial
wastes shall be determined in accordance with Chapter NR 219 of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code.
