(A) The industrial or non-single-family residential dwelling owner or his or her agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the said town. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the town.
(B) All costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the town from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
(C) No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the town.
(D) When required by the town, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessible by authorized town personnel and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the town. The manhole shall be installed and maintained by the owner so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
(E) All measurement, tests and analysis of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this subchapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the grinder pump unit or appurtenance provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said grinder pump unit or appurtenance. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analyses involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, B.O.D. and suspended solids analyses are obtained from 24- hour composites of all outfalls where pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.)
(F) No statement contained in this section shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the town and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the town for treatment subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern.
