The solid wastes, including animal and vegetable waste, resulting from the handling, preparation, cooking, and serving of foods.
Any industrial or commercial establishment with a classification as designated in the "Standard Industrial Classification Manual," in the most current edition, as published by the Executive Office of the President and who utilizes the services of the Village's sewer system.
The wastewater from industrial processes, trade, or business as distinct from domestic or sanitary wastes or sewage.
The sewer extension from the building drain to the street lateral or other place of wastewater disposal.
The sewer extension from the public sewer to the property line.
Any outlet, including storm sewers and combined sewer overflows, into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake, or other body of surface water or groundwater.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation or other duly authorized official of said Department.

That portion of a municipal system which is designed to provide treatment (including recycling and reclamation) wastes received by the municipal system.
The reduction of the amount of pollutant properties in wastewater to a less harmful state prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a POTW. The reduction or alteration can be achieved by physical, chemical or biological processes, process changes or by other means, except as prohibited by 40 CFR 403, General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution.
The wastes from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of food that have been shredded to such a degree that all particles will be carried freely under the flow conditions normally prevailing in public sewers, with no particle having a dimension greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension.
A common sewer controlled by a governmental agency or public utility.
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the Act (33 U.S.C. § 1292). Includes any sewers that convey wastewater to the POTW but does not include pipes, sewers or other conveyances not connected to a facility providing treatment.
A drain installed to receive water collecting on the surface of a roof for disposal.
Liquid wastes from the sanitary conveniences of dwellings (including apartment houses and hotels), office buildings, factories or institutions, and free from stormwater, surface water, industrial wastes and other wastes.
A sewer that carries liquid and water-carried wastes from residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions, together with minor quantities of groundwater, stormwaters, and surface waters that are not admitted intentionally.
A combination of the water-carried wastes from residences, business buildings, institutions and industrial establishments, and such groundwater, surface water and stormwater as may be inadvertently present. The mixture of sewage, as defined above, with industrial wastes and other wastes shall also be considered sewage within the meaning of this definition.
Any arrangement of devices and structures used for treating sewage.
All facilities for collecting, pumping, treating and disposing of sewage.
Liquid wastes from the noncommercial preparation, cooking and handling of food, liquid wastes containing human excrement and similar matter from the sanitary conveniences in dwellings, commercial buildings, industrial buildings and institutions, or liquid wastes from clothes washing and/or floor/wall washing. Domestic sewage includes both black water and grey water.
Sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes, which show, by analysis, the following characteristics:
BOD (five-day): 250 milligrams per liter or less.
Suspended solids: 240 milligrams per liter or less.
Phosphorus: 50 milligrams per liter or less.
Ammonia: 30 milligrams per liter or less.
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen: 50 milligrams per liter or less.
Total Nitrogen: 40 milligrams per liter or less.
Chlorine demand: 15 milligrams per liter or less.
Chemical oxygen demand: 350 milligrams per liter or less.
Oil and grease: 100 milligrams per liter or less.
Despite satisfying one or more of these characteristics, if the sewage also contains substances of concern, it may not be considered normal sewage.
A pipe or conduit for carrying or transporting sewage.
A sewer which carries stormwater and surface waters and drainage, but excludes sewage and industrial wastewaters, other than cooling waters and other unpolluted waters.
All facilities for collecting, regulating, pumping and transporting wastewater to and away from the POTW treatment plant.
Any discharge of water or wastewater which in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of flow exceeds for any period of duration longer than 15 minutes more than five times the average twenty-four-hour concentration or flows during normal operation and shall adversely affect the collection system and/or performance of the wastewater treatment works.
The State Pollution Discharge Elimination System established by Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York for issuance of permits authorizing discharges to the waters of the state.
A drain or sewer for conveying water, groundwater, subsurface water, or unpolluted water from any source.
Any flow occurring during or following any form of natural precipitation; also the flow resulting therefrom.
Total suspended matter that either floats on the surface of, or is in suspension in, water, wastewater, or other liquids, and that is removable by laboratory filtering as prescribed in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" and referred to as nonfilterable residue.
Water of quality equal to or better than the effluent criteria in effect or water that would not cause violation of receiving water quality standards and would not be benefitted by discharge to the sanitary sewers and wastewater treatment facilities provided.
The spent water of a community. From the standpoint of source, it may be a combination of the liquid and water-carried wastes from residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions, together with any groundwater, surface water, and stormwater that may be present, whether treated or untreated, which is contributed into or permitted to enter the POTW.
A natural or artificial channel for the passage of water either continuously or intermittently.
