No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewer:
A. 
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature lower than 32º F. or higher than 150º F.
B.

C. 
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
D. 
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
E. 
Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, grit, straw, animal wastes, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, manure or any other solid or viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works in the opinion of the Superintendent.
F. 
Any water or wastes having a pH lower than 6.0 or higher than 9.0 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works in the opinion of the Superintendent.
G. 
Any water or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant in the opinion of the Superintendent.
H. 
Any water or wastes containing suspended solids of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle such materials at the sewage treatment plant.
I.

[Amended 2-26-2002 by L.L. No. 3-2002]
An approved grease-intercepting trap shall be installed in the fixture drain of sinks, floor drains, and other fixtures through which grease usually is introduced into the sewer system, in any place or building having a capacity to serve group meals, which includes, but is not limited to, the following establishments: restaurants, hotel kitchens or bars, factory cafeterias or restaurants, clubs and other commercial kitchens. In such establishments, grease traps shall be installed in the fixture drains of pot, scullery, or food scrap sinks and floor drains receiving waste or spillage; however, no dishwashers shall be allowed to discharge through a grease-intercepting trap. All interceptors shall be the type and capacity approved by the Town and shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. They shall be of suitable construction, watertight, and equipped with easily removable covers, which when bolted in place, shall be gastight and watertight.
Where installed, all grease, oil, sand and grit interceptors shall be maintained by the owner at his expense in continuously efficient operation at all times.
A. 
The admission into public sewers of any waters or wastes having a five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 milligrams per liter by weight, containing more than 350 milligrams per liter by weight of suspended solids, containing any quantity of substances having the characteristics described in § 180-27 of this article or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the sewer district shall be subject to review and approval of the Superintendent.
B. 
Where necessary, in the opinion of the Superintendent, the owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to:
(1) 
Reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 milligrams per liter and the suspended solids to 350 milligrams per liter by weight;
(2) 
Reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in this article; or
(3) 
Control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes.
C. 
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Superintendent, together with a letter from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation or appropriate municipal health department approving the proposed preliminary treatment facilities, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing.
A. 
Where preliminary treatment facilities are required for any waters or wastes, no plumbing permit will be granted until such pretreatment units have been placed in operation and have demonstrated their effectiveness by test. The cost of such testing, sampling and analyzing shall be borne by the waste contributor.
[Amended 2-4-1997 by L.L. No. 1-1997]
B. 
Said preliminary treatment facilities shall be maintained continuously and satisfactorily in effective operation by the owner at his expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying commercial-industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be conveniently and safely located. It is to be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§ 180-27 and 180-30 shall be determined in accordance with "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage" or with methods approved by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and may be determined at the control manhole provided for in § 180-32 or upon suitable samples taken at said manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole may be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. If, in the judgment of the Superintendent, analyses must be performed which are beyond the scope of the laboratory at the sewage treatment plant, these analyses shall be performed at a laboratory designated by the Superintendent, and the cost of these analyses shall be borne by the owner.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing the Town Board from establishing special charges for any industrial, commercial or other user from whose premises an industrial, commercial or domestic waste eminates which is of such unusual strength or character so that special treatment is required or extraordinary costs are incurred in disposing of the same.
