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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
