(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 § 13-6-2, and which in the judgment of the Village Engineer may have a deleterious effect upon the POTW, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Engineer may:
(1) Reject the wastes;
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(4) Require payment to cover the added costs of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges, under the provisions of § 13-19-1 through 13-19-4. If the Village Engineer permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Village Engineer, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
(E) Where preliminary treatment of flow-equalizing facilities is provided, such facilities shall be continuously maintained in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his or her expense.
(F) Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients; except that, such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Village Engineer, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(G) Each industry shall be required to install a control manhole and, when required by the Village Engineer, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole when required shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Village Engineer. The manhole and equipment shall be installed by the owner at his or her expense, and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
(1) Each sampling chamber shall contain a Palmer-Bowlus flume unless a weir or similar device is approved by the POTW with a recording and totalizing register for measurement of the liquid quantity; or, at the discretion of the village, the metered water supply to the industrial plant may be used as the liquid quantity where it is substantiated to the village that the metered water supply and waste quantities are approximately the same, or where a measurable adjustment agreed to by the POTW is made in the metered water supply to determine the liquid quantity.
(E) The owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall provide laboratory measurements, tests and analysis of waters and wastes to illustrate compliance with this Article and any special conditions for discharge established by the village or regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the discharge. The number, type and frequency of laboratory analysis to be performed by the owner shall be stipulated by the village, but no less than twice per year the industry must supply a complete analysis of the constituents of the wastewater discharged to assure that compliance with the federal, state and local standards are being met. The owner shall report the results of measurements and laboratory analysis to the Village Engineer at such times and in such manner as he or she prescribes. The owner shall bear the expense of all measurements, analysis and reporting required by the village. At such time as deemed necessary, the village reserves the right to take measurements and samples for analysis by an outside laboratory service.
(F) All measurements, tests and analysis of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Article shall be determined in accordance with that publication entitled Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, Fifteenth Edition, published by the American Public Health Association, as amended from time to time, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analysis involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken.
(G) No statement contained herein shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the village and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the village for treatment, subject to payment therefore, in accordance with § 13-19-1 through 13-19-4, by the industrial concern.
