(a) The Village of Ashville has adopted a number of practices that are aimed at protecting the quality of water resources within Ashville and the integrity of the sanitary sewer system. These practices are crucial to the future performance and investment required by the utility system because they represent the manner in which this and previous sanitary sewer plans are implemented.
(b) The sanitary sewer ordinance requires that properties where domestic or industrial wastewater is produced be connected to the public sanitary sewer system within two (2) years of service availability. Further, the ordinance prescribes the design and manner in which individual connections and use of public sewers are to be made. To limit the amount of inflow into the sanitary sewer system, the ordinance prohibits the flows of storm water, ground water, roof runoff, surface water, unpolluted drainage, unpolluted industrial cooling water, or unpolluted industrial process water into any public sanitary sewer.
