(A) DPW Supervisor’s authority. While the DPW Supervisor should initially rely upon the federal categorical pretreatment standards, as set forth in § 50.09 of this code, if the DPW Supervisor determines that any wastewater contains substances or possesses characteristics shown to have deleterious effects upon the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or on the treated wastewater or wastewater sludge, or if any wastewater constitutes a public nuisance or hazard, in addition to the other powers of the DPW Supervisor set forth in this section, the DPW Supervisor may require of any user discharging the wastes:
(1) Pretreatment of wastes to a condition acceptable for discharge to the wastewater facilities;
(2) Payment to cover any added costs of handling and treating the wastewater, which costs are not recovered from existing fees or charges;
(3) Development of and conformance to compliance schedules to meet any applicable pretreatment requirements;
(4) Submission of reports necessary to assure compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements;
(5) Regulation of the quantities and rates of wastewater discharge;
(6) Carrying out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring necessary to determine compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements;
(7) Obtaining remedies for noncompliance by any user, including injunctive relief or criminal penalties; or
(8) If scientific evidence discloses that discharge will create unreasonable hazards or have unreasonable deleterious effects on the wastewater facilities, including wastewater and sludge reuse practices, the DPW Supervisor may reject the wastewater. Failure to comply with any requirements imposed by the DPW Supervisor hereunder shall constitute a violation of this section.
(B) Damages to wastewater facilities. If the drainage or discharge from any establishment causes a deposit, obstruction or damage to any of the village’s wastewater facilities, including any type of contamination of sludge intended for land application, the DPW Supervisor shall cause the deposit or obstruction to be promptly removed or cause the damage to be promptly repaired or remedied. The cost of the work, including materials, labor and supervision, shall be paid by the person who introduced, or allowed to be introduced, the drainage or discharge into the village’s wastewater facilities. The DPW Supervisor may suspend or revoke any connection and use permit issued to a person who fails to pay the costs.
