[Ord. #84-5, A VII, § 1]
No persons shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any wastewater facilities, wastewaters containing substances, and/or concentration of substances prohibited in Article VI, as indicated herein.
[Ord. #84-5, A VII, § 2]
Should an Industrial Discharger (Class III) request connection
to the wastewater facilities, the CMCMUA, City and New Jersey Water
Company shall:
Prior to authorizing such discharge, require that sufficient information be provided in order to evaluate the waste material proposed to be discharged to ascertain compliance with Article VI of this section.
If in the opinion of the CMCMUA, and New Jersey Water Company the waste is not in compliance with the requirements of Article VI, the potential discharger will be required to provide adequate pretreatment facilities for the wastes in order to bring the material proposed for discharge into the wastewater facilities into full compliance, or the Industrial Discharger will be denied access into the wastewater facilities.
[Ord. #84-5, A VII, § 3]
If the City, CMCMUA, and New Jersey Water Company have reason to believe that any discharger is in violation of Article IV, one or both of the following actions may be taken:
Request additional information in an effort to evaluate the
quality and quantity of the material discharged.
Monitor the wastewater.
If the discharger is found to be in violation of Article VI, the CMCMUA, City and New Jersey Water Company shall require the installation of pretreatment facilities within a specified time to be determined by the City, CMCMUA and/or New Jersey Water Company. If such facilities are not constructed and delivering a waste in compliance with the provisions of this section within the specified time, the New Jersey Water Company may disconnect the discharge from the wastewater facilities according to provisions set forth in Article II.
[Ord. #84-5, A VII, § 4]
a.

Sampling methods, locations times, durations, and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject to the approval by the CMCMUA and the New Jersey Water Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 15-3.5, regarding responsibility for measurement and sampling of wastewater discharges, the discharger shall be liable for all costs incurred by the CMCMUA or New Jersey Water Company in the determination of wastewater characteristics pursuant to this subsection 15-3.30. The discharger shall have the option to use, at his own expense, more complete sampling methods, locations, times, and frequencies than specified by the CMCMUA and the New Jersey Water Company.
b.
Measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of wastewater
required by this section shall be performed by a New Jersey State
certified laboratory.
[Ord. #84-5, A VII, § 5]
If the drainage or discharge from any person/owner causes a
deposit, obstruction, or damage to any of the wastewater facilities
located in the City, the CMCMUA or the New Jersey Water Company, depending
upon which of these entities have operating responsibility for the
obstructed section of the wastewater facility, shall cause the deposit
or obstruction to be promptly removed or cause the damage to be promptly
repaired. The cost for such work, including materials, labor, supervision,
