cause to be constructed, or use or cause to be used, or alter or cause

from the director.
(Prior code § 68.140)
The provisions of Articles I to VII, inclusive, of this chapter
requiring permits shall not apply to the city or to contractors constructing
public sewers and appurtenances under contracts awarded and entered

designated therein.
(Prior code § 68.142)
Any person requiring a permit under the provisions of this chapter
shall make written application therefor to the director, giving such
information as the director may require. The director shall provide
printed application forms for the various types of work permitted
under this chapter, indicating thereon the information to be furnished
by the applicant. The director may require, in addition to the information

applicant which will enable the director to determine that the proposed

Before granting a permit for the construction of any main line

chapter.
(Prior code § 68.147)
Before granting an industrial waste discharge permit to any
applicant to discharge any industrial liquid waste or industrial sewage
into any public sewer, the director shall determine either that the
waste is one which will not damage or destroy the public sewer or
cause an unwarranted increase in the cost of maintenance of the public
sewer or retard or inhibit the treatment of the sewage, or is one
that can be made acceptable by pretreatment.
(Prior code § 68.148)
In the event pretreatment is required to make the waste acceptable, as provided under Section 13.12.150, the application for a permit to dispose of industrial liquid waste or industrial sewage shall be accompanied by suitable plans and specifications showing the method of collection and pretreatment proposed to be used, and a permit shall not be issued until said plans and specifications, or required modifications thereof, have been checked and approved by the director.
(Prior code § 68.149)
