Industries permitted to connect to the City
of Rahway's sewers, even though not initially required to provide
preliminary treatment, may be required to provide a control manhole
and/or meter, as described above.
Under no circumstances will any of the following
be connected to the sanitary sewers, directly or indirectly:
A. Floor drain, area drain or yard drain.
B. Rain conductor or downspout.
D. Air-conditioning equipment.
E. Stormwater inlets or catch basins.
F. Drains from a piece of equipment or manufacturing
process, except when specifically authorized under the provisions
of these rules and regulations.
A separate connection shall be provided for
domestic sewage, and the waste shall not be commingled with the industrial
waste within the plant. The City of Rahway shall determine the equivalent
household connections from the discharge of domestic sewage from each
industrial plant. This shall be determined by dividing the average
daily domestic sewerage flow by 300 gallons per day, the latter representing
the average household domestic sewage discharge. The annual rate for
discharge of domestic sewerage into the City of Rahway's sewer system
shall be computed by multiplying the number of equivalent units, as
determined by the formula above, times the annual sewer charge applied
to each household unit (presently $15 per year).
[Amended 7-9-1984 by Ord. No. A-12-84]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall fail to comply with or violate the provisions of this Part
2 shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both.
