A. 
The manager may require a discharger to construct, operate and maintain, at the discharger's own expense, monitoring, sampling or metering facilities or other equipment to allow inspection, sampling and flow measurement of the discharger's building sewer or internal drainage systems, or waste or wastewater discharges. Such monitoring, sampling or metering facilities or equipment shall be located on the discharger's premises; provided, however, that the manager may allow such equipment or facility to be constructed upon public property adjacent to the discharger's premises upon a determination by the manager that the location of such equipment or facilities upon the discharger's premises would be impracticable or cause unnecessary or undue hardship. In the event that the manager makes the foregoing determination, the discharger shall obtain permission for such installation or construction, and for the maintenance and operation of such facilities or equipment, from the governmental agency having jurisdiction over such public property.
B. 
Monitoring, sampling or metering facilities or equipment to be provided, installed, maintained and operated pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be so situated and constructed and installed as to permit safe and immediate access thereto by the manager; provided, however, that the manager may, at the option of the discharger, secure such equipment or facilities with a lock furnished by the Authority, at the expense of the discharger. The discharger shall provide sufficient space, as determined by the manager, at or near such equipment or facilities so as to allow ready and accurate monitoring, sampling and compositing of samples for analysis. Such equipment and facilities, and the sampling and measuring equipment to be maintained and operated in connection therewith, shall be so maintained and operated at all times in a safe and proper condition, by and at the expense of the discharger.
C. 
Monitoring, sampling or metering equipment or facilities to be furnished pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be provided in accordance with all reasonable requirements of the manager relating thereto, and all applicable construction standards and specifications of the Authority. Installation and construction of such facilities or equipment shall be completed within ninety days following written notification requiring such installation or construction from the manager.
(Ord. 9-94 § 2(part), 1994)
A. 
The manager is authorized to inspect the premises of any discharger at all reasonable times to ascertain whether the provisions of this chapter, or the provisions of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter are being complied with. Such reasonable times would include any period of time the facility is operating or wastewater is being discharged in possible violation of this chapter or the provisions of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter. Owners or occupants of premises where wastewater is created, held or discharged shall allow the manager ready access at all such reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, monitoring or performing any or all of the duties reasonably necessary or appropriate in carrying out or enforcing the provisions of this chapter, or any permit issued pursuant to this chapter. The manager shall further have the right to install and use on the discharger's premises such devices as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to conduct sampling, metering or monitoring operations or other of the aforesaid duties. In the event a discharger has established security measures requiring identification and clearance prior to entry onto such discharger's premises, the discharger shall furnish and provide such identification or clearance to the manager so as to permit ready access of the manager to the premises for the purposes described in this section.
B. 
An annual detailed site inspection will be conducted by the manager to review records and to verify that no substantial change in operating condition has occurred.
(Ord. 9-94 § 2(part), 1994)
A. 
Pretreatment of wastes or wastewater shall be furnished by every discharger on the discharger's premises when such waste or wastewater, prior to pretreatment, could result in the discharge into the sanitary sewer system of waste or wastewater prohibited under Article II of this chapter. Such pretreatment facilities shall be provided and maintained at the discharger's expense, and shall be of sufficient design and capacity to pretreat waste or wastewater discharged from the premises into the sanitary sewer system to a level meeting such minimum requirements, and such other requirements established by the manager and reasonably necessary or appropriate for the sanitary sewer system to treat adequately such waste or wastewater under normal operating and treatment conditions.
B. 
Prior to the installation of such pretreatment facilities, plans and specifications therefor shall be submitted to the manager, together with such data and descriptive material relating to the waste or wastewater prior to, and after such proposed pretreatment as the manager may require, in order that the manager may ascertain the wastewater constituents and characteristics and volume of the wastewater discharge after pretreatment. The manager shall review the data and description in consultation with the agency. The discharger shall make such modifications, changes or amendments to said plans and specifications as the manager may reasonably require in order that the provisions of this chapter or any permit issued, or to be issued pursuant to this chapter, shall be complied with. Upon approval of such plans and specifications by the manager, the discharger may proceed with the construction thereof; provided, however, that such approval shall not be deemed to waive or modify any other requirements of this chapter, or of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter, or of any other requirements of law.
C. 
Approval of plans and specifications of pretreatment facilities pursuant to this section shall not relieve the discharger from the responsibility of modifying such pretreatment facilities as necessary to produce effluent therefrom complying with all pertinent provisions of this chapter or any permit issued pursuant to this chapter, or any other requirements of law. Any proposed cessation of use, or alteration, modification or other change to approved pretreatment facilities or any portion thereof, or any change in method of operation thereof, shall be reported to the manager prior to commencement thereof, and shall be subject to the approval of the manager in consultation with the agency. Such approval may be withheld, granted or granted subject to such terms, conditions or requirements as the manager may reasonably require in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this chapter, or any permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 9-94 § 2(part), 1994)
A. 
Any type of business or establishment where grease or other objectionable materials may be discharged into a public or private sewer main or disposal system shall have a grease interceptor of a size and design to be approved by the manager and the agency.
B. 
Each grease interceptor shall be so installed and connected that it shall be at all times easily accessible for inspection, cleaning and removal of intercepted grease.
C. 
The grease interceptor shall be situated on the discharger's premises but Authority may, when such location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the discharger, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area, subject to applicable city or county codes related thereto, and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.
D. 
Buildings remodeled for use requiring grease interceptors shall be subject to these regulations.
E. 
Waste discharge from fixtures and equipment in the above-mentioned types of establishments which may contain grease or other objectionable materials including, but not limited to, scullery sinks, pot and pan sinks, dishwashers, soup kettles and floor drains located in areas where such objectionable materials may exist, may be drained into the sanitary waste through the interceptor when approved by the manager; provided, however, that toilets, urinals, wash basins and other fixtures containing fecal material shall not flow through the interceptor.
F. 
The interceptor shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic removal of the accumulated grease. The use of chemicals to dissolve grease is specifically prohibited. No such accumulated grease shall be introduced into any drainage piping or public or private sewer.
G. 
Abandoned grease interceptors shall be emptied and filled in accordance with applicable city or county requirements for abandoned septic tanks.
(Ord. 9-94 § 2(part), 1994)
A. 
General. For the purposes of this chapter, unless otherwise provided pursuant to the provisions of this article, volumes of wastewater produced by nondomestic dischargers shall be determined upon the basis of volumes of freshwater, including all sources of nonwastewater, used by, or furnished to, a discharger.
B. 
Metering. Upon application of a nondomestic discharger, and upon a finding by the manager that a significant portion of freshwater or nonwastewater, received by the discharger from any metered source does not flow into the sanitary sewer system because of the principal activity of the discharger, or by reason of removal of wastewater by other means, the manager may authorize determination of the volume of wastewater discharge to be made by an appropriate metering device. Upon such determination by the manager, a metering device, of a type approved by the manager and the agency, shall be installed at the discharger's expense. Such metering device shall measure either the amount of wastewater discharged into the sanitary sewer system or the amount of freshwater or nonwastewater diverted from the sanitary sewer system. Upon installation, such meters shall be maintained and tested periodically for accuracy in accordance with requirements established by the manager, all of which maintenance and testing shall be at the expense of the discharger.
C. 
Exceptions–Estimated Volume. In lieu of use of a metering device as specified in subsection B of this section and upon a determination by the manager that it would be unnecessary or impracticable to install, maintain or operate such metering device, wastewater volume discharged by a discharger into the sanitary sewer system may be based upon an estimate thereof determined by the manager. The determination of such estimated wastewater volume shall be based upon such factors as the number of fixtures through which wastewater flows into the sanitary sewer system from the discharger's premises, seating capacity of buildings or improvements upon the premises, the population equivalent associated with the premises, annual production of goods and services related to the premises, or other factors reasonably relating to water use, wastewater volume calculations and/or diversions of wastewater flow from the sanitary sewer system.
