If, in the opinion of the Wastewater Superintendent/Engineer,
the amount of septage being received at the Haverhill Wastewater Treatment
Plant exceeds the plant's capacity to treat effectively or causes
problems at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, then the amount of septage
will be reduced first by limiting or excluding New Hampshire septage;
next by limiting or excluding nonresidents' (Massachusetts) septage.
