The only exception to this requirement is when the Village, upon application for removal credits, receives a modification to the Categorical Pretreatment Standards as provided for under the Act.
(b) State requirements and limitations on discharges to the Municipal wastes works shall be met by all users which are subject to such standards in any instance in which they are more stringent than Federal requirements and limitations or those in this or any other applicable ordinance.
(c) The Village reserves the right to amend this chapter to provide for more stringent limitations or requirements on discharges to the Municipal wastes works where deemed necessary to comply with the objectives set forth in Section 945.05.
(d) No user shall increase the use of potable or process water in any way, for the purpose of diluting a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the standards set forth in this chapter.
(Ord. 84-7. Passed 5-23-84.)
