If any waters, wastes or septage are discharged or proposed to be discharged to the public sewers or at the wastewater treatment facility, which waters, wastes or septage contain substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Article II and which, in the judgment of the Director, may have deleterious effects upon the wastewater treatment facility, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life, health or constitute a public nuisance, the Director may:
A. 
Reject the wastes.
B. 
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers.
C. 
Require a control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
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 this chapter.
A. 
Each person discharging industrial wastes into a public sewer shall construct and maintain one or more control manholes or access points to facilitate observation, measurement and sampling of his or her wastes, including domestic sewage.
B. 
Control manholes or access facilities shall be located and built in a manner acceptable to the Village. If measuring devices are to be permanently installed, they shall be of a type acceptable to the Village.
C. 
Control manholes, access facilities and related equipment shall be installed by the person discharging the industrial waste, at his or her expense, and shall be maintained by the person discharging the waste so as to be in safe condition, accessible and in proper operating condition at all times. Plans for installation of the control manholes or access facilities and related equipment shall be approved by the Director prior to the beginning of construction.
The volume of flow used for computing the sewer service and the cost recovery charges for nonseptage disposal shall be based upon the water consumption of the person as shown in the records of meter readings maintained by the Village Water and Sewer Department.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
In the event that a person discharging industrial waste into the public sewers produces evidence satisfactory to the Director that more than 10% of the total annual volume of water used for all purposes does not reach the public sewer, then the determination of the water consumption to be used in computing the waste volume discharged into the public sewer may be made a matter of agreement between the Village and the industrial waste discharger.
Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be required by the Village if this volume cannot otherwise be determined from the metered water consumption records. Metering devices for determining the volume of water shall be installed, owned and maintained by the person discharging the wastewater. Following approval and installation, such meters may not be removed without the consent of the Director.
A. 
Industrial wastes and septage discharged into the public sewers shall be subject to periodic inspection and a determination of the character and concentration of said wastes. The determinations shall be made by the industry or the licensed disposer as often as may be deemed necessary by the Village.
B. 
Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be representative of the composition of the wastes. The sampling may be accomplished either manually or by the use of mechanical equipment acceptable to the Village.
C. 
Testing facilities shall be the responsibility of the person discharging the waste or septage and shall be subject to the approval of the Village. Access to sampling locations shall be granted to the Village or its duly authorized representatives at all times. Every care shall be exercised in the collection of samples to ensure their preservation in a state comparable to that at the time the sample was taken.
When required, in the opinion of the Director, to modify or eliminate wastes that are harmful to the structures, processes or operation of the wastewater treatment facility, the discharger shall provide at his or her expense such preliminary treatment or processing facilities as may be required to render his wastes acceptable for admission to the public sewers.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided by the industrial discharger and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the maintaining of these interceptors, the discharger shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates and means of disposal which are subject to review by the Village or its representation. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by the discharger's personnel must be performed by currently licensed disposal firms.
A. 
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters, wastes and septage to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," published jointly by the American Public Health Association, the American Water Works Association and the Water Environment Federation, and "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for Analysis of Pollutants" (1978, 40 CFR 136). Sampling methods, locations, times, durations and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject to approval by the Director.
B. 
Determination of the character and concentration of the industrial wastes shall be made by the person discharging them or his or her agent, as designated and required by the Director. The Village may also make its own analyses of the wastes, and these determinations shall be used as a basis for charges. If the person discharging the waste contests the determination, the Village may elect to have an independent laboratory determine the character and concentration of the waste. Said independent laboratory shall be acceptable to both the Village and the person discharging the waste. All costs incurred by the independent laboratory in making the determination shall be assumed by the discharger.
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed flow equalization, pretreatment or processing facilities shall be submitted for review by the Village prior to the start of their construction if the effluent from such facilities is to be discharged into the public sewers.
A. 
Within three months after passage of this chapter, each person who discharges industrial wastes to a public sewer shall prepare and file with the Village a report that shall include pertinent data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the waste discharged to the wastewater facility.
B. 
Similarly, each person desiring to make a new connection to the public sewer for the purpose of discharging industrial wastes shall prepare and file with the Village a report that shall include actual or predicted data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the waste to be discharged.
When it can be demonstrated that circumstances exist which would create an unreasonable burden on the person proposing to discharge a waste to comply with the time schedule imposed herein, a request for extension of the time may be presented for consideration by the Director.
