The use of County sewers and sewers tributary thereto shall
be strictly limited and restricted to receiving and accepting the
sewage, industrial wastes and other wastes generated on or discharged
from real property lying within the bounds of the Albany County Sewer
District. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission may authorize
the use of the District facility for collection and treatment of normal
sewage from real property outside the bounds of the District but within
the County of Albany.
Sewage, industrial wastes and other wastes will be accepted
into the County sewerage system only from municipal corporations or
local sewer districts, and all points of connection will be approved
by the Director. Measuring and gauging stations will be installed
for each point of connection unless waived by the Commission. Such
stations will be built by the municipality in accordance with Albany
County Sewer District design standards. They will be owned and operated
by the Albany County Sewer District. No nonmunicipal connections may
be made to the District's interceptor sewers. Each municipality, or
town district, may be required to report to the District, at the end
of each calendar year, a list of water consumers of 25,000 gallons
per day or more.
Where the Commission shall determine that a local system contains
combined sewers, or large quantities of stormwater are expected in
the local sewer system, an overflow device with regulator chamber
shall be constructed at the cost of the local municipality or town
district, at all points required by the Commission, in accordance
with County Sewer District design standards or to a design approved
by the Director. Regulator chambers shall be owned, supervised and
operated by the District.
All requirements, directives and orders for the mandatory use
of the County sewers or sewers tributary thereto for the proper discharge
of sewage, industrial wastes and other wastes compatible with these
rules and regulations shall be established and given by the local
municipality having jurisdiction or the Albany County Department of
Health.
