If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in §
150-27 of this article and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
B. Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge
to the public sewers;
C. Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge;
and/or
D. Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of §
150-33 of this article. If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion
of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid
wastes containing grease in excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand
or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required
for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of
a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent and shall be located as
to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided
for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property serviced
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control
manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the
building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the
wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located
and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent.
The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall be maintained
by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters
and wastes to which reference is made in this Part 1 shall be determined in
accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association,
and shall be determined at the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples
taken at said control 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.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the
effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence
of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analyses involved will
determine whether a twenty-four-hour composite of all outfalls of a premises
is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally,
but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour
composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab
samples.)
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any industrial
concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be
accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment therefor, by the
industrial concern.
