A. Uniform Requirements Set: This Chapter sets uniform requirements for the use of the City wastewater collection (sanitary sewer), treatment and disposal facilities. These requirements are necessary to protect the health and safety of the citizens of the service area and assure compliance with applicable portions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act), provisions of the Clean Water Grant regulations, and discharge requirements as set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. To do this, the Chapter regulates the use and construction of the wastewater collection system, the quality and quantity of the wastewater discharged to the system, the issuance of permits prior to connection to the system, and reserves to the City the control of additions and expansions to the system.
B. Procedures Established: This Chapter also establishes procedures to assure the equitable distribution of the costs of operating and maintaining the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system including capital outlay, debt service costs, capital improvements and replacement of equipment.
