(A) It is intended that this chapter include provisions for prohibiting the discharge by any wastewater customer into a public sanitary sewer of substances that may endanger the public health and safety or of unpolluted waters that do not require treatment and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the biological operations of the treatment facilities.
(B) It is further understood that the biological and chemical operations that can be designed for wastewater treatment do, by their scientific nature, limit the types of constituents in wastewater treatment that may be treated by facilities constructed and maintained within a reasonable cost to the public. Consequently, the District’s treatment facilities into which the District system discharges are designed for the primary purpose of treating domestic wastewater in sufficient manner to protect public health. Certain industrial wastewater constituents and portable toilet waste can be treated without interference at the wastewater facilities, but only in a limited quantity or concentration. To ensure that discharges of industrial wastewater and portable toilet wastes into the public sanitary sewer are within such quantity and concentration limits, reasonable and adequate regulations are provided in this chapter.
