C.
Acceptability of certain harmful substances or wastes.
(1)
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following
described substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely,
in the opinion of the Superintendent, that such wastes can harm either
the sewers, sewage treatment process or equipment, have an adverse
effect on the receiving stream or can otherwise endanger life, limb,
public property or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion as
to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes
in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of
the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the
sewage treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The substances
prohibited are as follows:
(a)
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150°
F. (65° C.).
(b)
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether
emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter, or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between
32° and 150° F. (0° and 65° C.).

and similar objectionable or toxic substances or wastes exerting an
excessive chlorine requirement to such degree that any such material
received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds
the limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
(f)
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances in such concentrations as may exceed limits which may be
established by the Superintendent as necessary after treatment of
the composite sewage to meet the requirements of the state, federal
or other public agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the
receiving waters.
(g)
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable state or federal regulations.
(h)
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
(i)
Materials which exert or cause the following:
[1]
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids, such as but
not limited to fuller's earth, lime slurries and lime residues, or
of dissolved solids, such as but not limited to sodium chloride and
sodium sulfate.
[2]
Excessive discoloration, such as but not limited to dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions.
[3]
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand or chlorine requirements
in such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
[4]

to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge of the receiving waters.
(2)
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Subsection C(1) of this section 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 Village Board may:
(3)
If the Village Board 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 Village Board and
subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, local laws, ordinances
and laws.
D.
Interceptors. 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 so as
to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
E.
Operation and maintenance of pretreatment facilities. Where preliminary
treatment of 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.
F.
Manholes. When required by the Village Board, 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 Village Board. 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.
G.
Measurements, sampling and tests. All measurements, tests and analyses
of the characteristics of water 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 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 pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.)
H.
Special agreements between Village and industrial concerns. No statement
contained in this section 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.
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently
break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure,
appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the sewage works. Any
person violating this provision shall be subject to immediate arrest.

bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to
enter all properties for the purposes of inspection, observation,
measurement, sampling and testing in accordance with the provisions
of this article. The Superintendent or his representatives shall have
no authority to inquire into any processes, including metallurgical,
chemical, oil, refining, ceramic or paper, or other industries beyond
that point having a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge
to the sewers or waterways or facilities for waste treatment.
(2)
The Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the Village
bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to
enter all private properties through which the Village holds a duly
negotiated easement for the purpose of, but not limited to, inspection,
observation, measurement, sampling, repair and maintenance of any
portion of the sewage works lying within said easement. All entry
and subsequent work, if any, on said easement shall be done in full
accordance with the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining
to the private property involved.
B.
Indemnification and liability. While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in Subsection A above, the Superintendent or duly authorized employees of the Village shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the owner, and the owner shall be held harmless for injury or death to the Village employees, and the Village shall indemnify the owner 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 owner and growing out of the gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the owner to maintain safe conditions as required in § 90-7F of this article.
A.
Any person found to be violating any provision of this article, except § 90-8 of this article, shall be served by the Village with written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time limit for the satisfactory correction thereof. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in such notice, permanently cease all violations.

The sewer rents are hereby established and imposed for the sewer
system in the Village of Camillus now existing, hereafter created
or extensions thereof.
On or before the first day of March of each year, the Village
Board shall compute the monetary rate per household unit and the annual
sewer rent to be charged to each sewer user in the Village of Camillus
in accordance with this article. Such computation may be based upon
facts obtained from its own investigation or certified statements
furnished by sewer rental users containing pertinent facts or information
based upon the period ending on May 31 of the previous year as to
the number of employees, pupils, teachers, number of rooms or apartments
or separate dwellings or other necessary facts or information which
may be applicable. Such information shall be furnished by sewer users
to the Village Board upon a five-day written notice requesting such
information.
A.
Revenues derived from sewer rents shall be credited to a special
fund known as the "Sewer Rent Fund." Moneys in such fund shall be
used only in the manner and for the purpose specified by the Sewer
Rent Law of the State of New York.
B.
Sewer rents shall become due and payable annually on June 1 in each
year, and the amount due shall be set forth as a separate item on
the annual Village tax bill, and the amounts so due shall be collected
and enforced in the same manner and at the same time as provided by
law for the collection and enforcement of Village taxes.
