(1)
Inform the public as to the technical and administrative
procedures to be followed in obtaining connection to the Town of Farmington
sanitary sewer system.
(2)
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sanitary
sewer system which will interfere with the collection and/or treatment
system.
(3)
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the treatment
system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into
the waters of the state or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible
with the system.
(4)
Improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters
and sludges from the system.
C.
This article shall apply to the Town of Farmington
and to persons outside of the Town of Farmington who are users of
the public sewer. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Town Engineer
of the Town of Farmington shall otherwise implement and enforce the
