(A) Any owner who discharges or may discharge industrial wastes into a public sewer via any means such as floor drains, sinks, catch basins, and the like, shall be required by the Superintendent to construct and maintain, at his own expense, one or more control manholes, at a specified location or locations, to facilitate the observation, measurement and sampling of owner's waste. Such manholes shall be constructed in accordance with the standards and specifications of the Control Authority. The Superintendent may also require, at said person's expense, an approved volume-measuring device. Plans and/or shop drawings for the installation of control manholes and related equipment shall be approved by the Superintendent before any construction is begun.

(C) The utility has deemed it necessary to require the installation of a control manhole in all building sewer lines where the Superintendent has determined that any of the following conditions exist:
(1) Abnormal maintenance of the sewer has been required to prevent and/or correct the occurrence of blockages, back-ups, and the like, which have resulted in property damage; and evidence indicates that the abnormal maintenance is the result of the discharge of wastes in excess of limitations set forth in §§ 50.01 through 50.43.
(2) There exists a concentration of persons discharging wastes into a public sewer through a building sewer or sewers not having control manholes.
(D) The Superintendent shall notify, in writing, any person who has been identified to be in violation of any of the above mentioned conditions and shall require such person or persons to install one or more control manholes.
(E) Following notification, a control manhole shall be installed within 120 days.
(F) Control manholes shall be located upon private property, shall receive all wastes from the property and shall be readily accessible to representatives of the utility in order to facilitate observations, measurement and sampling of the waste being discharged.
(G) The need for the installation and maintenance of control manholes and flow-metering equipment shall be determined by the Town Council and the cost for installation will be borne by the owner.
