The wastewater discharge permit expressly authorizes a user
to discharge wastewater to the POTW and is issued for that purpose.
If, for any reason, a wastewater discharge permit is revoked, suspended,
or otherwise held invalid, authorization to discharge is terminated
and the user shall cease all discharge.
(Ord. 3895 § 3, 2008)
Any unpermitted user not required to obtain a wastewater discharge
permit, who was discharging to the POTW prior to the effective date
of the ordinance codified in this title, and who wishes to continue
such discharges in the future, shall, within 30 days after the effective
date of the ordinance codified in this title, apply to the Director
of Utilities for a wastewater discharge permit in accordance with
this title. The user shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW
to continue after 30 days of the effective date of the ordinance codified
in this section except in accordance with a wastewater discharge permit
issued by the Director of Utilities. Permits issued by the Director
of Utilities, pursuant to prior pretreatment requirements, shall remain
valid for their stated terms or until terminated or amended pursuant
to this title.
(Ord. 3895 § 3, 2008)
