It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to discharge or cause to be discharged to any public sanitary sewer any of the following described substances, materials, waters, wastes, or liquids.
(a) Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters.
(b) Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade).
(c) Any water or waste, grease or oil, or other ether soluble matter exceeding an analysis on an average basis of 50 p.p.m , or 100 p.p.m. maximum.
(d) Any gasoline, benzine, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive liquid, "solid, or gas."
(e) Any water or wastes that contain more than ten p.p.m. by weight of the following gases: hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, or nitrous oxide.
(f) Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
(g) Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, asphaltic materials, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails, lime slurry, lime residues, beer or distillery spent grains, chemical residues, paint residues, cannery waste bulk solids, or any other solid or viscous substances, capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works.
(h) Any water or wastes that contain phenols in excess of 0.50 p.p.m by weight. These limits may be modified if the aggregate of contributions throughout the area of service create treatment difficulties, or produce a plant effluent discharge to receiving waters; which may be prohibitive.
(i) Any water or wastes, acid or alkaline in reaction, and having corrosive properties capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the Village Administrator. Free acids or alkalies of such wastes must be neutralized at all times, within the permissible range of pH, which range is between 5.5. and 8.5.
(j) Any water or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance of high chlorine demand in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans, or animals or create any hazard to the receiving waters or storm water overflows of the effluent of the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Material such as copper, zinc, chromium, cyanide or other similar toxic substances.
(k) Any water or wastes containing the discharge of strong acid iron pickling wastes, or concentrated plating solution whether neutralized or not.
(l) Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance, which either singly or by interaction with other wastes, is capable of creating a public nuisance or hazard to life or of preventing entry into sewers for their maintenance and repair.
(m) Any long half-life (over 100 days) of toxic radioactive isotopes; without special permit from the Village. The radioactive isotopes such as I-131 and p-32 used at hospitals are not prohibited, if properly diluted at the source and discharged in accordance with Atomic Energy Commission recommendations.
(n) Any water or waste which by interaction with other water or wastes in the public sewer system, releases obnoxious gases as referred to in subsection (l) above; or develops color of undesirable intensity; or forms suspended solids in objectionable concentration; or creates any other conditions deleterious to the sewers or the sewage treatment process.
