(A) Pursuant to the requirements imposed on publicly owned wastewater treatment works by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and later amendments, all pretreatment standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for new and existing industrial dischargers to public sewer systems are hereby made a part of this chapter. Any industrial waste discharge which violates these EPA pretreatment standards shall be in violation of this chapter and is prohibited.
(B) Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided or are required for any waters or wastes, they shall be continuously maintained in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner a his or her sole expense.
(C) Any person who transports septic tank, seepage pit, or cesspool contents, liquid industrial waste or other batch liquid waste and who wishes to discharge such waste to the public sewer system of the city shall first obtain permission for such discharge from the Superintendent. All persons receiving such permission shall abide by all applicable provisions of this chapter, and any other special provisions that may be established by the Superintendent as necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the sewerage system or POTW.
(1) It shall be illegal to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the public sewer system, or any building sewer or other facility that discharges to the public sewer system, except at designated points of discharge specified by the Superintendent for such purposes.
(2) Waste haulers who have been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by § 51.101 and payment of such fees shall be made to the City Clerk/Treasurer prior to such discharge.
(3) Any liquid waste hauler illegally discharging to the public sewer system shall be subject to immediate revocation of discharge privileges (if granted) and further subject to the penalties prescribed in § 51.999 of this chapter.
(4) Nothing in this chapter shall relieve waste haulers of the responsibility for compliance with County Health Department, state or federal regulations.
(D) No statement contained in this subchapter shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the city and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the city for treatment provided that applicable, local, state and federal pretreatment regulations or the city’s NPDES/KPDES permit are not violated.
