The Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to permit the discharge of clean waste water from industrial plants and from commercial or public buildings into storm sewers, where such sewers are available, subject to the following provisions:
(a) The storm sewer into which such clean waste water may be discharged shall be of sufficient capacity to handle the added flow without overloading.
(b) The tapping of storm sewers for this purpose shall be subject to all the regulations governing the construction of sewer services, provided, however, that there shall be no assessment made or frontage fee exacted for such privilege.
(c) Wherever a connection is made to a storm sewer for this purpose, the owner shall construct a manhole, conforming to usual City standards, at a convenient or designated point on his sewer service, as required by the Mayor, the purpose of this manhole being to enable the City to make proper inspections and collect samples of the flow for analysis.
(d) A charge shall be made, where storm sewers are used for this purpose by industries or commercial or public buildings, which shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions elsewhere herein set forth, provided, however, that such charge shall be based on rates of charges equal to one-tenth of the rates provided for use of sanitary sewers.
