(A) This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for discharges into the city wastewater disposal system and enables the local government to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and the general pretreatment regulations. The objectives of this chapter are:
(1) To prevent discharges into the wastewater disposal system which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
(2) To prevent discharges into the wastewater disposal system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere;
(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the system; and
(4) To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the wastewater disposal system.
(B) This chapter provides for the regulation of discharges into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) through issuance of permits, establishments of local limitations, monitoring and enforcement activities and user reporting, and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of expenditures. This chapter shall apply to the city, to persons outside the city who are, by contract or agreement with the local government, users of the POTW and any other users of the POTW. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Director of Public Utilities for the city shall administer the provisions of this chapter.
