A.
Owners or occupants or any other person generating waste prohibited
from discharge into public sanitary sewers by the foregoing shall
pretreat or otherwise dispose of such prohibited waste so as to make
the waste discharged to the public sanitary sewer acceptable under
the standards established in this chapter and/or in compliance with
federal standards promulgated pursuant to FWPCAA.
B.
All major contributory industries as defined by 40 CFR 128.124 must
comply with federal pretreatment standards and any other applicable
requirements promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
in accordance with Section 307 of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act Amendments (FWPCAA) of 1972 and any more stringent pretreatment
standards necessitated by local conditions.
The inspectors, agents or representatives of the Town, New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and/or Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) charged with the enforcement of this section
of the law shall be deemed to be performing a governmental function
for the benefit of the general public, and neither the Town, the Town
Engineer, nor the individual inspector, agent or other representative
shall ever be held liable for any loss or damage, whether real or
asserted, caused or alleged to have been caused as a result of the
performance of such governmental function. The owners or occupants
of premises where industrial waste is created or discharged into the
sanitary sewer shall allow the Town Engineer, his inspectors, agents,
representatives, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(NYSDEC) and/or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) free access
at all reasonable times to all parts of such premises for the purpose
of inspection or sampling or any of their duties hereunder, and the
failure or refusal of such owners or occupants to comply with this
provision shall be grounds for the disconnection of water and/or sanitary
sewer service.
