ADMINISTRATOR. The Public Works Director or any other person designated by the Manager to perform the functions and exercise the responsibilities assigned by this chapter to the Administrator.
B.O.D. (BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND). The quantity of oxygen (expressed in milligrams per liter) required to satisfy the 5-day oxygen demand of a million pounds of domestic sewage or industrial wastes (or a combination of both) when tested in accordance with the procedures given in the latest edition of Standard Methods of the Examination of Water and Sewage, published by The American Public Health Association. B.O.D. is a measure of the pollutional strength of wastes of any nature.
COMBINED SEWER. A sewer receiving both surface runoff and sewage.
DOMESTIC SEWAGE. Liquid wastes from bathrooms, toilet rooms, kitchens and home laundries.

NATURAL OUTLET. That body of water, stream or watercourse receiving the discharge waters from the sewage treatment plant or formed by the discharge of the sewage treatment plant.
pH. The logarithm (base 10) of the reciprocal of the weight of the hydrogen ions in grams per liter of solution. It indicates the acidity and alkalinity of a substance. A pH value of 7.0 is considered neutral. A stabilized pH is one that does not change beyond the specified limits when the waste is subjected to aeration. A pH value below 7.0 is acid and above 7.0 is alkaline.
PROPERLY SHREDDED GARBAGE. The wastes from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of food, shredded to such a degree that all particles will be carried freely under the flow conditions normally prevailing in public sewers, with no particles greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension.
SANITARY SEWER. A pipe or conduit that carries sewage or polluted industrial wastes and to which storm, surface and ground waters or unpolluted industrial wastes are not intentionally admitted.
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM. The sanitary sewer system owned and operated by the town, including all sanitary sewer lines and pipes, the sewage treatment plant and all other facilities used in connection with the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage.
