1. The economy and desirability of the combined treatment of industrial wastes and sanitary sewage is recognized. In general, any and all industrial wastes may be discharged to the public sanitary sewage system except those which are deemed harmful to the system or are specifically prohibited by these rules and regulations. However, it is also recognized that the treatment of abnormal industrial wastes may add to the cost of operating and maintaining the public sanitary sewage system. Such additional cost must, therefore, be borne by the person or persons receiving the benefit of such treatment.
2. The township reserves the right to refuse connection to the public sanitary sewage system for deleterious industrial wastes, or to compel discontinuance of use of the system for such wastes, or to require pretreatment and/or equalization to flow thereof in order to prevent harmful or adverse effects upon the system. The design, construction and operation of such pretreatment and/or flow equalization facilities shall be made at the sole expense of the person discharging said wastes and shall be subject to the approval of the township or its designated representative.
3. When required by the township, any person discharging to the public sanitary sewage system any industrial wastes, or industrial wastes and sanitary sewage together, shall install a suitable manhole or manholes or metering chamber on his or her connecting sewer or sewers to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the combined flow or wastes from his or her premises. Such manhole or manholes or metering chamber shall be accessible and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the township or its designated representative. The manhole or manholes or metering chamber shall be installed by such person at his or her expense and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible to the township or its designated representative at all times. The construction and maintenance of such manhole or metering chamber shall be mandatory for the producers of abnormal industrial waste, and if deemed necessary by the Supervisors, flows from such manhole or metering chamber shall be continuously monitored, transmitted and recorded by means of an approved receiving device to be located at a facility of or designated by the township.
