A. 
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 into any sanitary sewer.
B. 
No person shall permit, continue or maintain on property owned by him any drain, pipe or other connection through which surface water, rainwater or roof water may flow into any sanitary sewer or any private drain connected to the sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers or storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent. Industrial cooling waters or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer, combined sewer or natural outlet.
[Added 3-17-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
No connections shall be made to a sanitary or combined sewer which connections are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited connections include but are not limited to footing drains, roof leaders, roof drains, cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water discharges or other sources of inflow.
[Added 3-17-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
A. 
For properties where separate storm sewers are available within 100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Superintendent, sufficient natural drainage is available, connections which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion approved by the Superintendent prior to the sale of the property.
B. 
Upon notice from the Tax Assessor or Building Inspector, the Superintendent shall inspect any newly sold property for the purpose of determining if storm sewers or natural drainage is available, and, if so, if all connections which contribute inflow have been disconnected.
C. 
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any person to reconnect any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant to this article.
[Added 3-17-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
The Superintendent is enabled to take whatever action is necessary to determine the amount of inflow, including the requirement for installation of a control manhole. The property from which the inflow originated shall be billed for inflow according to Article IX. The Village Board may cause a surcharge at a rate not to exceed five times that for normal sewage volume charge.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waste or wastes to any public sewer:
A. 
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F.
B. 
Any water or waste which may contain more than 100 parts per million, by weight, of fat, oil or grease.
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, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch 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.
F. 
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 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.
G. 
Any waters 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.
H. 
Any waters 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. 
Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating public nuisance.
A. 
When required. Grease and oil traps and interceptors shall be installed at all premises of commercial kitchen and restaurants engaged in the preparation or service of food for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, flammable wastes, or other harmful ingredients prior to entering the Village wastewater collection system. Interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units.
B. 
Construction, general. Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight, and equipped with easily removable covers which, when bolted in place, shall be gastight and watertight.
C. 
Existing installations. When in the opinion of the Superintendent, an existing installation is incapable of handling liquid waste, the owner shall install a 1,000 gallon precast exterior grease interceptor if there is available space on the premises. The manufacturer's specification and installation plan must be reviewed and approved by the Superintendent prior to installation. When adequate space is not available on the premises, a 100 pound grease trap shall be installed inside the building, at a maximum distance from hot water discharges, as acceptable to the Superintendent. All interceptors shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. The manufacturer's specification and the installation plan from the owner must be reviewed and approved by the Superintendent prior to installation. All installations shall comply with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Ulster County Health Department and local laws governing this type of construction.
D. 
New construction. All food service facilities hereafter established shall be fitted with separate grease traps of precast concrete having a minimum 1,000 gallon capacity exterior to the structure, and accessible for inspection and pumpout, except that any food service facility with a seating capacity in excess of 150 seats shall be provided with a grease trap with a minimum capacity of 2,000 gallons. All installations shall comply with NYSDEC, Ulster County Health Department and local laws governing this type of installation.
E. 
Preexisting nonconforming uses. All food service facilities which do not have grease and oil traps and interceptors at the premises shall install such interceptors in accordance with the requirements of this section no later than April 1, 1999.
F. 
Maintenance. All grease and oil interceptors shall be maintained at the owner's expense in continuously efficient operation at all times. The grease and oil interceptor shall be pumped out when it is at 80% of its intended capacity and the contents disposed of at a NYSDEC approved disposal facility.
G. 
Inspection. All installations shall be readily accessible and open to inspection by the Superintendent or his designee at any time. If during the time of inspection it is determined that the interceptor is at or above capacity, and not adequately performing its intended function, the owner of the facility will be given 72 hours from the time of the inspection to have a licensed contract hauler pump out and properly dispose of the contents. The owner shall then contact the Superintendent for a reinspection. If the owner is found to be in noncompliance with these maintenance and inspection requirements, the Superintendent shall notify the Building Inspector who shall issue and serve an appearance ticket to the owner and pursue the remedies set forth in § 163-47 of this chapter.
H. 
Recordkeeping. The owner of each facility responsible for the installation and maintenance of grease and oil traps and interceptors shall maintain a pumpout log which will include the proper recording of pumpout dates. It shall also include receipts indicating service dates and pumpout volumes from the hauler. This information shall be made available to the Superintendent at the time of inspection.
A. 
Review and approval by Superintendent. The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having:
(1) 
A five-day BOD greater than 300 parts per million by weight;
(2) 
Containing more than 350 parts per million by weight of suspended solids;
(3) 
Containing any quantity of substance having the characteristics described in § 163-31 hereof; or
(4) 
Having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the Village;
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent.
B. 
Preliminary treatment. 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 BOD to 300 parts per million and the suspended solids to 350 parts per million by weight; or
(2) 
Reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in § 163-31 hereof; or
(3) 
Control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Superintendent and of the Water Pollution Control Commission of the County of Ulster, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing.
C. 
Maintenance. Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly located, and shall 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 water and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided or by suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by the customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.)
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing the Village from establishing special charges whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern.
