Whenever necessary, in the opinion of the village or the respective treatment authority, the owner, operator or tenant of any industrial plant or other establishment discharging or proposing to discharge industrial wastes into any waters, sewer, watercourse or natural outlet in the village, at such owner's, operator's or tenant's expense, shall provide such preliminary treatment or handling facilities as may be necessary to:
A. Reduce or modify the objectionable characteristics or constituents of such industrial wastes to meet the limits or conditions provided for in section 7-5-4 of this chapter and to comply with the pollution restrictions as indicated in the definition of pollution.
B. Control the quantities and rates of discharge of such industrial wastes over a twenty four (24) hour day and a seven (7) day week to prevent surge discharges which may place an unreasonable burden upon the sewage works of the village.
Before any permit for the construction of preliminary treatment or handling facilities will be issued, plans, specifications and other pertinent data or information relating to the proposed preliminary treatment or handling facilities shall be submitted by the industry for the approval of the village and the respective treatment authority.
The metropolitan water reclamation district of greater Chicago (MWRD) sewage and waste control ordinance (SWCO), effective November 18, 2010, as the same may be amended from time to time, is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference by the village of Elk Grove Village, as authority for administration and enforcement of the industrial waste pretreatment program within areas of the village of Elk Grove Village that are subject to the agreement for sewerage services between the MWRD and the village of Elk Grove Village and amendments thereto.
The requirements of the SWCO are applicable to all industrial waste discharges within the service areas of the village of Elk Grove Village in addition to all local ordinances relating to industrial waste discharges to the village's sewerage system.
