The utility superintendent shall be the administrator of the city and all instructions and decisions made by him shall be final, but appeals from such instructions or decisions may be made to the city council in writing at any regular meeting of the council. Where Chapters
14.04 through
14.48 PMC require approval by, permission or decision of, or instructions from the utility superintendent, the utility superintendent shall be guided solely by generally recognized engineering standards and practices, the operational demands and requirements of the sewer works, and the peculiarities of construction, topography, soil condition, or other relevant special factors affecting the specific decision to be made by the utility superintendent.
