(a) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process water to any sanitary sewer.
(b) Storm water and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Village Administrator. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, upon approval of the Village Administrator to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
(c) Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or waste to any public sewer:
(1) Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150 degrees F.
(2) Any water or waste which may contain more than 100 parts per million, by weight, of fat, oil or grease.
(3) Any gasoline, benzine, naphtha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
(4) Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
(5) Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch manure, or any other solid or viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the waste water treatment plant.
(6) Any waters or wastes having a pH lowers than 5.5 or higher than 9.5 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the waste water works.
(7) Any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any waste water treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the waste water treatment plant.
(8) Any waters or wastes containing suspended solids of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle such materials at the waste water treatment plant.
(9) Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating a public nuisance.
(d) Grease, oil or grit interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Village Administrator, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease or excessive amounts of any flammable wastes, grit, and other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters of dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Village Administrator, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(e) Where installed, all grease, oil and grit interceptors shall be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation at all times.
(f) (1) The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having:
A. A 5 day Biochemical Oxygen Demand greater than 200 milligrams per liter by weight; or
B. Containing more than 250 milligrams per liter by weight of suspended solids; or
C. Containing any quantity of substance having the characteristics described in subsection (c) hereof; or
D. Having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily waste flow of the Village, shall be subject to the review and approval of the Village Administrator.
(2) The owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to:
A. Reduce the Biochemical Oxygen Demand to 200 milligrams per liter and the suspended solids to 250 milligrams per liter by weight; or
B. Reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in subsection (c) hereof; or
C. Control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes.
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Village Administrator and of the Environmental Protection Agency of the State of Ohio, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing.
(g) Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
(h) When required by the Village Administrator the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
(i) All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water and wastes to which reference is made in subsections (c) and (f) hereof, shall be determined in accordance with “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage”, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in subsection (h) hereof, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
