(a) If wastewaters containing any substance described in Section 1043.02 of this chapter are discharged or proposed to be discharged into the sewer system of the Municipality or to any sewer system tributary thereto, the Municipality may:
(1) Prohibit the discharge of such wastewater;
(2) Require the person or industrial discharger to make modifications that will reduce or eliminate the discharge of such substances in conformity with this chapter;
(3) Require pretreatment, including storage facilities, or flow equalization necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics or substances so that the discharge will not violate the provisions of this chapter or any other pretreatment requirements;
(4) Require the person making, causing or allowing the discharge to pay any additional cost of expense incurred for handling and treating excess loads imposed on the POTW;
(5) Take any other remedial action as may be deemed desirable or necessary to achieve the purpose of this chapter; or
(6) Require the person responsible for the discharge or proposed discharge to apply for and obtain a waste discharge permit authorizing and limiting the discharge for specific pollutants.
(b) Where pretreatment or flow equalization prior to discharge into the POTW is required, plans, specifications and other pertinent data or information relating to such pretreatment or flow control facilities shall first be submitted to the Municipality for review and approval. Such approval shall not exempt the discharger from compliance with any other applicable code, ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment or flow control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and prior approval of the Municipality.
(c) If pretreatment or control of waste flows is required, such facilities shall be maintained in good working order and operated as efficiently as possible by the owner or operator at his or her own cost and expense, subject to the requirements of these rules and regulations and all other applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
(d) Whenever it is necessary an authorized representative of the Municipality, upon presentation of identification, may enter upon any property or premises at reasonable times for the purpose of copying any records required to be kept under the provisions of this chapter, inspecting any processes or equipment where wastewater is generated and discharged to the POTW and sampling any discharge of wastewater to the POTW.
(e) Each industrial user shall provide, at its own cost and expense, protection from accidental discharges of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this chapter.
(f) If, for any reason, a person does not comply with or will not be able to comply with any prohibition or limitation in this chapter, the person responsible for such discharge shall immediately notify the Municipality so that corrective action may be taken to protect the POTW treatment plant. In addition, a written report addressed to the Municipality detailing the exact date, time and cause of the accidental discharge and the duration, quantity and characteristics of the discharge, shall be filed by the responsible person within five days.
