The local utility shall regularly use meters
or devices or methods for determining waste quantities (volumes) directly
or by differentials or otherwise and shall make tests and use other
means for determining the quality and other characteristics of all
sewerage, industrial wastes or other wastes discharged into the local
sewer system.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the
characteristics of sewerage and wastes to which reference is made
in these rules and regulations shall be determined in accordance with
the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water
and Wastewater, as prepared, approved and published jointly by the
American Health Association, the American Water Works Association
and the Water Pollution Control Federation, or other reference source
as specified by regulatory agency requirements such as Methods for
Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, published by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency. Sampling shall be carried out in
accordance with the customarily accepted methods such to reflect the
effect of the constituents upon the local sewer system and to determine
the existence of any hazards. Volume determination shall be conducted
in accordance with sound engineering practice.
A determination of the volume of waste water contributed to
the local sewer system by any user shall be through metering process
established in the City of Ventnor or by such other methods which
are determined as appropriate by the City. Any user of the system
consents to abide by any requirements of the Superintendent of the
sewer utility so that the most accurate measurements of volumes discharged
may be obtained.
