If any sewage is discharged, or proposed to be discharged to the sewage works which contains the substances or possesses the characteristics enumerated in §§ 50.31 through 50.39, and which in the judgment of the town or Superintendent, may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater treatment works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the town may in writing, reject the waters, require pretreatment to an acceptable condition prior to discharge to the sanitary sewers, require flow equalization of the rate of discharge, or require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by the existing sewer service charges. If the town permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, plans and specifications shall be submitted to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) for review and approval. Such plans and specifications shall also be subject to review and approval by the town, before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and specifications will in no way relive that person from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the town, under the provisions of this subchapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities shall be reported to and be acceptable to the town.
