received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds
the limits established by the Village for such materials.
6.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Village as necessary, after treatment of the composite sewage,
to meet the requirements of State, Federal or other public agencies
of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.

as may exceed limits established by the Village in compliance with
applicable State or Federal regulations.

plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of the other agencies
having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.

Any waters or wastes having: (a) a five-day BOD greater than
three hundred (300) parts per million by weight; (b) containing more
than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight of suspended
solids; or (c) having an average daily flow greater than two percent
(2%) of the average sewage flow of the Jakes Creek Trail wastewater
treatment system, shall be subject to the review of the Village. Where
necessary, in the opinion of the Village, the owner shall provide,
at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to:
(a) reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to three hundred (300) parts
per million by weight; (2) reduce the suspended solids to three hundred
fifty (350) parts per million by weight; or (3) 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 for the approval of the Village
and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said
approvals are obtained in writing.
E.
Rejection, Control Or Pretreatment Of Certain Waters Or Wastes.

flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Village, and subject
to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.

approved by the Village, and shall be located as to be readily and
easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
G.
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.
H.
When required by the Village, the owner of any property serviced
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install such
necessary meters and other appurtenances in the collection system
to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes.
I.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters
and wastes to which reference is made in this Article 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 upon suitable samples
taken at the collection system before it enters the public sewer.
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
analysis involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour composite
of all outfalls or a premise 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 analyses are determined from periodic grab samples.)
J.
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.

on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers or waterways or
facilities for waste treatment.
B.
While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in Subsection (A) above, the Village or its duly authorized employees shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the company, and the company shall be held harmless for injury or death to the Village employees, and the Village shall indemnify the company against loss or damage to its property by Village employees and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and growing out of the gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required in Section 705.060(H).
C.
The Village and its duly authorized employees, bearing proper credentials
and identification, shall be permitted to enter all private properties
through which the Village holds a duly negotiated easement for the

meters its water use for irrigation, swimming pools, and outdoor hydrants,
the metered water for these uses that do not result in water entering
the Village's wastewater collection and treatment system shall not
be included in the user charge.
C.
(Reference is made to Appendix A to this ordinance, which is on file
in the Village offices.) The minimum charge per month shall be eighteen
dollars and forty cents ($18.40) for residential contributors. For
light commercial / resort contributor units, the minimum charge per
