A. 
Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise, the meaning of terms used in this Part 2 shall be as follows:
APPROVING AUTHORITY
The Village of Cottage Grove Utility Commission or its duly authorized committee, agent or representative.
BUILDING DRAIN
That part of the lowest horizontal piping of a drainage system which receives the discharge from soil, waste and other drainage pipes inside the walls of the building or structure and conveys it to the building sewer.
BUILDING SEWER
The pipe extension beginning at the outside of the inner face of the building wall to a point of connection with the public sewer.
CARBONACEOUS BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (CBOD)
The quantity of oxygen used in the biochemical degradation of organic material in five days at 20° C. when the oxidation of reduced forms of nitrogen is prevented by the addition of an inhibitor. This analytical procedure shall be performed in accordance with Standard Methods.
CFR
The Code of Federal Regulations.
[Amended 3-19-2001 by Ord. No. 01-2001]
COMMISSION
The Village of Cottage Grove Utility Commission.
COMPATIBLE POLLUTANTS
Carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids and total kjeldahl nitrogen, plus additional pollutants identified in the WPDES permit for the publicly owned treatment works receiving the pollutant if such works were designed to treat such additional pollutants to a substantial degree.
FLOATABLE OIL
Oil, fat or grease in a physical state such that it will separate by gravity from wastewater by treatment in an approved pretreatment facility. A wastewater or septage shall be considered free of floatable fat if it is properly pretreated and the wastewater does not interfere with the collection or treatment system.
GARBAGE
The residue from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of food and from the handling, storage and sale of food products and produce.
GROUND GARBAGE
The residue from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of food that has been shredded to such degree that all particulates will be no greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension and will be carried freely in suspension under normal flow conditions in sewers.
INCOMPATIBLE POLLUTANTS OR WASTEWATER
Wastewater or septage with pollutants of such a strength that will adversely affect or disrupt the wastewater treatment processes or effluent quality or sludge quality if discharged to the sewerage system facility.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE
The wastewater from an industrial process, trade or business, as distinct from sanitary sewage, including cooling water and the discharge from sewage pretreatment facilities.
MMSD ORDINANCE
The Sewer Use Ordinance of the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (herein "MMSD") adopted in September 1984, and any amendments thereto or restatements thereof.
MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER
The wastewater of a municipality, including that of the utility. From the standpoint of source, it may be a combination of the liquid and water-carried wastes from residential and commercial buildings, industrial plants and institutions, together with any groundwater, surface water and stormwater that may have inadvertently entered the sewerage system of the municipality.
NATURAL OUTLET
Any outlet, including storm sewers, into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake or other body of surface water or groundwater.
PARTS PER MILLION
A weight-to-weight ratio. The parts per million value multiplied by the factor 8.34 shall be equivalent to pounds per million gallons of water.
PERSON
Any and all persons, including any individual, firm, company, municipal or private corporation, association, society, institution, enterprise, government agency or other entity.
pH
The logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen ion concentration. The concentration is the weight of hydrogen ions, in grams per liter of solution. Neutral water, for example, has a pH value of 7 and a hydrogen ion concentration of 10.
PUBLIC SEWER
Any sewer owned or provided by or subject to the jurisdiction of the Village or any other municipality.
SANITARY SEWAGE
A combination of liquid and water-carried wastes discharged from toilets and/or sanitary plumbing facilities, together with such groundwater, surface water and stormwater as may have inadvertently entered the sewerage system.
SANITARY SEWER
A sewer that carries liquid and water-carried wastes from residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants and institutions, together with small quantities of groundwater, stormwater and surface water that are not admitted intentionally.
SEPTAGE
The wastewater or contents of septic or holding tanks, dosing chambers, grease interceptors, seepage beds, seepage pits, seepage trenches, privies or portable rest rooms.
SEWERAGE SYSTEM
All structures, conduits and pipes by which sewage is collected, treated and disposed of, except plumbing inside and in connection with buildings served, and service pipes, from building to street main, i.e., a building sewer.
SEWER SERVICE CHARGE
A service charge levied on users of the wastewater collection and treatment facilities for payment of use-related capital expenses as well as the operation and maintenance costs, including replacement costs, of said facilities.
SEWER SYSTEM
The public sanitary sewers within a sewerage system. The facilities which convey wastewater from individual structures, from private property to the public sanitary sewer, or its equivalent, are specifically excluded from the definition of "sewer system," except that pumping units and pressurized lines for individual structures or groups of structures may be included as part of a "sewer system" when such units are cost effective and are owned and maintained by the Commission in question. Lift stations or pumping stations and all appurtenances thereto are included in this definition. For example, a building sewer is not part of the sewer system.
SLUG LOAD
Any substance release at a discharge rate and/or concentration which causes interference to wastewater treatment processes or plugging or surcharging of the sewer system.
STANDARD METHODS
The examination and analytical procedures set forth in the most recent edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water, Sewage and Industrial Wastes" published jointly by the American Public Health Association, the American Water Works Association and the Water Pollution Control Federation and in compliance with federal regulations 40 CFR 136, "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for Analysis of Pollutants," all as amended from time to time.
STATS
The Wisconsin Statutes in effect from time to time.
STORM DRAIN
A drain or sewer for conveying water, groundwater, subsurface water or unpolluted water from any source.
[Amended 3-19-2001 by Ord. No. 01-2001]
STORMWATER RUNOFF
That portion of the rainfall that is collected and drained into the storm sewers.
SUSPENDED SOLIDS
Solids that either float on the surface of, or are in suspension in, water, wastewater, septage or other liquids and that are removable by laboratory filtering as prescribed in Standard Methods and referred to as "nonfilterable residue."
TOTAL KJELDAHL NITROGEN (TKN)
The quantity of organic nitrogen and ammonia as determined in accordance with Standard Methods.
TOTAL PHOSOPHORUS (TP)
The quantity of total phosphorus as determined in accordance with the Standard Methods.
