No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, swimming pool water, roof
runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial
process waters to any sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage
shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated
as storm sewers or to a watercourse approved by the Superintendent.
Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged,
upon approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities
are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously
in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his or her
expense.
When required by the Engineer, the owner of
any property served by a building sewer lateral carrying industrial
wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer
lateral to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the
wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely
located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the Town Engineer. The manhole shall be installed by the owner
at his or her expense and shall be maintained by him or her so as
to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§
118-32 and
118-36 shall be determined in accordance with Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. 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.
No statement contained in this chapter shall
be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between
the town and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of
unusual strength or character may be accepted by the town for treatment,
subject to payment therefor by the industrial concern.
All of the preceding standards are to apply
at the point where the industrial wastes are discharged into the public
sanitary sewerage system and any chemical or mechanical corrective
treatment required must be accomplished to practical completion before
the wastes reach that point. The laboratory methods used in the examination
of all industrial wastes shall be those set forth in the latest edition
of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published
by the American Public Health Association. However, alternate methods
for the analysis of industrial waste may be used, subject to mutual
agreement between the Town Board and the producer of such wastes.
The frequency and duration of the sampling of any industrial waste
shall not be less than once every three months for a twenty-four-hour
period. However, more frequent and longer periods may be required
at the discretion of the Town Board.
