All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods so as to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazard to life, limb, and property. In order for the city to properly evaluate the effect of the waste on the system, an industry must submit, along with the plans, etc., required in § 51.11(B), an industrial waste analysis describing maximum, minimum, and average wastewater characteristics.
