(A) If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 52.30, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may effect treatment works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may do any of the following:
(1) Require new industries (or other large users) or industries (or other large users) with a significant increase in discharges to submit information on wastewater quantities and characteristics, and to obtain prior approval for discharges.
(2) Reject the wastes, in whole or in part, for any reason deemed appropriate by the Town.
(3) Require pretreatment of wastes to within the limits of normal sewage as defined in this chapter.
(4) Require control or flow equalization of wastes so as to avoid any “slug” loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to the treatment works.
(5) Require payment of a surcharge on any excessive flows or loadings discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional cost of having capacity for and treating the wastes.
(B) If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plant and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
(C) If any user discharges waste causing the Town to utilize sewer cleaning equipment, purchase chemicals, hardware or other materials for the purpose of cleaning to remove the grease or other obstructions from sewer lines, lift stations or wet wells, the Town shall maintain the right to assess the user for the cost of materials and services.
(D) The Town reserves the right to establish by ordinance more stringent limitations or requirements on discharges to the POTW if deemed necessary.
