(A) Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid, or gas;
(B) Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids, or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance, or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the wastewater treatment plant;
(C) Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment, and personnel of the sewerage works; or
(D) Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of a size capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with the proper operation of the sewerage works, such as but not limited to ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes, cups, or milk containers, either whole or ground by garbage grinders.

(A) No person shall discharge or allow to be discharged the following described substances, materials, waters, or wastes if the Utility Superintendent, after consultation with the Village Engineer, shall determine that the wastes are harmful to either the sewers, wastewater treatment process, or equipment of the sewerage works; have an adverse effect on the receiving stream; or otherwise endanger life, limb, public property, or constitute a nuisance. In making the determination as to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent shall give consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of the wastewater treatment process, capacity of the wastewater treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the wastewater treatment plant, and maximum limits established by regulatory agencies. Any such determination may be appealed to the Board of Trustees by any person affected by that determination. The decision of the Board on an appeal shall be final.
(B) The substances prohibited are:
(1) Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F. (65 C.°).
(2) Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous materials or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 mg/l or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between 32° and 150° F. (0° and 65° C.).
(3) Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed, or are amenable to treatment only to the degree that the wastewater treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
Penalty, see § 50.99
(A) If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in this chapter, which are in violation of the standards for pretreatment set forth in the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution, 40 C.F.R. § 403, and any amendments thereto, or in violation of any federal or state standards for pretreatment, and which may have a deleterious effect upon the sewerage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the village may:
(1) Reject the wastes;
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(4) Require payment to cover the added costs of handling and treating the wastes under the provisions of this chapter.
(B) If the village 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 village and shall be subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances, and laws.
(A) Grease, oil and/or sand interceptors. Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that these interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the village and shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(B) Preliminary treatment facilities. Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his or her expense.
(C) Control manhole. Each industry shall be required to install a control manhole and, when required by the village, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with any necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes. The manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the village. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his or her expense, and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
