No person shall be issued a building permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal, conforming to this Part 2, is available.

The City Common Council, on the recommendation of the City Engineer, shall have the authority to enter into agreements to accept sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated by or discharged from persons outside the service area of the POTW.

(2) 
An inventory of all users located within the contributing municipality that are discharging to the POTW; and
(3) 
Such other information as the City Engineer may deem necessary.
B. 
If the person is a municipality, the agreement shall contain the following conditions:
(1) 
A requirement for the contributing municipality to adopt a sewer use local law which is at least as stringent as this Part 2 and local limits which are at least as stringent as those set out in § 199-64 of this Part 2. The requirement shall specify that such local law and limits must be revised as necessary to reflect changes made to the City's local law or local limits;
(2) 
A requirement for the contributing municipality to submit a revised user inventory on at least an annual basis;
(3) 
A provision specifying which pretreatment implementation activities, including wastewater discharge permit issuance, inspection and sampling and enforcement, will be conducted by the contributing municipality; which of these activities will be conducted by the City Engineer; and which of these activities will be conducted jointly by the contributing municipality and the City Engineer.

A provision specifying remedies available for breach of the terms of the intermunicipal agreement.
C. 
If the person is not a municipality, the discharge shall be made only with the expressed written consent of the City Engineer (the issuance of a permit) setting forth the terms and conditions of such a discharge.
At the recommendation of the City Engineer, who determines that one or more portions of the POTW is exceeding its hydraulic capacity at any time or any specific purpose of this Part 2 is being violated, the City Common Council shall have the authority to limit or deny new connections to the POTW until the conditions leading to the moratorium are corrected. Such correction may be by construction of new facilities, enlarging existing facilities, correction of inflow and infiltration or cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives and orders calling for mandatory use of the wastewater sewers, within the service area of the POTW, for the proper discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, shall be established and given by the City Common Council, NYSDEC, USEPA and/or other such state or federal agencies which have enforcement powers.
