This chapter may be cited as the "Sewer Use Law of the Incorporated
Village of Great Neck ('Village')."
The general purpose of this chapter is to provide for efficient, economic,
environmentally safe and legal operation of the Village publicly owned treatment
works (POTW).
The specific purposes of this chapter are the following:
A. To prevent the introduction of substances into the POTW
that will:
(1) Interfere with the POTW in any way;
(2) Pass through the POTW to the state's waters and cause
contravention of standards for those waters or cause violation of the POTW's
State Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (SPDES) permit;
(3) Increase the cost or otherwise hamper the disposal of
POTW sludge and/or residuals;
(4) Endanger municipal employees;
(5) Cause air pollution or groundwater pollution, directly
or indirectly; and
(6) Cause, directly or indirectly, any public nuisance condition.
B. To prevent new sources of infiltration and inflow and,
as much as possible, eliminate existing sources of infiltration and inflow.
C. To assure that new sewers and connections are properly
constructed.
D. To provide for equitable distribution to all users of
the POTW of all costs associated with sewage transmission, treatment and residuals
disposal, and to provide for the collection of such costs.
