If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sanitary sewer system, which waters contain substances which in the judgment of the Utilities Superintendent or his authorized agent, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, any or all of the following actions may be taken:
(a) Reject the wastes;
(b) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(c) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(d) Require payment to cover the added cost (surcharge) of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing charges.
If the Utilities Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Utilities Superintendent or a duly appointed designee, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
