No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, roof runoff or subsurface drainage to any sanitary sewer.
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 higher than
150° F.
B. Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils,
whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between 32°
F. and 150° F. (0° C. and 65° C.). (NOTE: The concentration permitted
per day from any establishment may be subsequently limited depending upon
other soluble content of the sewage delivered to the sewage treatment works.)
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. The
installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of
3/4 horsepower (0.76 hp metric) or greater shall be subject to the review
and approval of the town.
E. Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal,
glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, whole blood, 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 or 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, or constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or create any hazard
in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant, including but not limited
to cyanides in excess of two milligrams per liter as CN in the wastes as discharged
to the Town Sewage Works.
H. Any waters or waste containing suspended solids of such
character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle
such matters at the sewage treatment plant.
I. Any noxious or malodorous gas or substances capable of
creating a public nuisance.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be maintained
by the owner at his or her expense and maintained in a continuously efficient
operation at all times.
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having a five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 parts per million by weight, or containing more than 350 parts quantity of a substance having the characteristics described in §
92-17, or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the Town shall be subject to the review and approval of the town. Where necessary, in the sole judgment of the town, the owner shall provide, at his or her expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per million by weight, or reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in §
92-17, or 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 to the town, Home Connection Inspector and the Department of Health of the State of New York, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until approvals are obtained in writing.
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 or her expense.
When required by the town, the owner of any property served by a house
connection or building sewer carrying 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 accessible
and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the town. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his or her expense
and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible at all
times.
All measurements, tests and analysis of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§
92-17 and
92-18 shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in §
92-22, or upon suitable samples taken at said 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.
