(A) Pretreatment required. When, in the opinion of the approving authority, and in accordance with 40 C.F.R. Part 128, and/or other applicable state and federal regulations, pretreatment is required to modify or eliminate wastes that are harmful to the structures, processes or operation of the wastewater treatment facility, the person or persons creating the waste shall provide, at his, her or their expense, such preliminary treatment or processing facilities as may be determined required to render his, her or their wastes acceptable for admission to the public sewers.
(B) Interceptor requirements. Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the approving authority, they are necessary for the proper handling of such wastes; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Department of Commerce Plumbing Code, and shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the maintaining of these interceptors, the owner shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal, by appropriate means, of the captured material, and shall maintain records of the dates and means of disposal, which are subject to review by the approving authority. Any removal and handling of the collected materials not performed by the owner’s personnel must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms.
(C) Regulatory action. If the wastewater to be discharged by a user may be harmful to the sanitary sewer system or to the operation of the treatment system, or if the proposed wastewater discharge is prohibited, limited or restricted by this chapter, the village may take the following actions:
(1) Prohibit the discharge of such wastewaters;
(2) Require a discharger to demonstrate that in-plant modifications will eliminate the discharge of such substances to a degree as to be acceptable to the village;
(3) Require pretreatment including storage facilities, or flow equalization necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics or substances so that the discharge will not violate these rules and regulations;
(4) Require the person making, causing or allowing the discharge to pay all additional costs of collecting, handling and treating the wastewater; and
(5) Take such other remedial action, as may be deemed desirable or necessary to achieve the purpose of this chapter.
(D) Submission of plans. Where pretreatment or equalization of wastewater flows prior to discharge into any part of its sanitary sewer facilities is required by the village, plans and specifications, other pertinent data or information relating to such pretreatment or flow-control facilities shall be submitted to the village for review and approval. Approval shall in no way exempt the discharge or such facilities from compliance with any applicable code, ordinance, rule or regulation of any other governmental unit or the village. Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment or flow-control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and approval of the village.
(E) Costs. The cost of constructing grease, oil and sand interceptors, pretreatment facilities and flow equalization facilities shall be the responsibility of the person needing these facilities so as to allow their wastewater to be discharged to the village sanitary sewer system.
(F) Operations. If pretreatment or flow equalization facilities are installed, they shall be effectively operated and maintained at the user’s expense.
