One or more of the following methods shall measure the volume or quantity of waste discharged by any person into the sanitary sewerage system.
(A) If the volume of water used by any person in his or her industrial or process operations is substantially the same as the volume secured from the municipal waterworks system, then the volume of water purchased shall be considered to be the volume of waste discharged. However, if a waste discharge flow meter is installed, the measured flow volume shall be considered the volume of waste discharged.
(B) If, in the establishment of any person discharging industrial waste into the sanitary sewerage system, a substantial portion of the water secured from the municipal waterworks system is not used for industrial purposes, or is not returned to the sanitary sewerage system, the quantity of industrial waste shall be determined as follows:
(1) By a meter (or meters) on the water supply line (or lines) to his or her industrial and/or process operations;
(2) By a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from his or her industrial and/or process operations; or
(3) Until meters as required under divisions (B)(1) and (2) above have been installed, an estimate, made by the town, shall be made of the proportion of the water purchased which is used for industrial purposes and returned to the sanitary sewerage system.
(C) If any person now discharging or proposing to discharge industrial waste into the sanitary sewerage system does not secure his or her entire water supply requirements from the municipal water works system, the person shall install and maintain a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from his or her industrial and/or process operations, or shall install such additional meters on the private water supply as required to permit determination of the total quantity discharged to the sewers from both sources under procedures comparable to divisions (A) and (B) above.
(D) Any discharge flow meters and the Director shall approve appurtenances, and the installation of such.
