§ 50.092 METERING OF FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE LINES.
   (A)   The town may require the owner of any fire protection line to install at his or her expense either a detection check valve with bypass meter or a full flow fire line meter. A like valve or meter may be required upon the initial connection of the fire line to the town's system and shall be required if the town subsequently has reason to believe that unmetered water is being lost or used for other than fire protection purposes from any like line.
   (B)   When a detector check meter indicates usage of water for other than fire protection, the owner shall be required at his or her expense to furnish and install a full flow meter of approved design. The meter shall be arranged to meter all water supplied to the premises for all purposes, including fire protection.

§ 50.107 PROHIBITED USES.
   Subject to the provisions of §§ 50.108 and 50.109 below, no person may discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any part of the town's sanitary sewer system:
   (A)   Any clothing, rags, textile remnants and the like, except scraps or fibers that will pass through a 0.25-inch mesh screen or its equivalent in screening ability;
   (B)   Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150°F;
   (C)   Any water or waste containing more than 100 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fats, oils or grease;
   (D)   Any liquids, solids or gases that may cause fire or explosion or be in any way injurious to persons, any portion of the town's sewage treatment system or the operation of this system;
   (E)   Any liquid wastes in which the suspended solids exceed 600 milligrams per liter;
   (F)   Any liquid wastes having a B.O.D. of more than 600 milligrams per liter;
   (G)   Any waters or wastes having a stabilized pH lower than 6.0 or higher than 9.0 or having other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment or personnel of the sewage treatment system;
   (H)   Any waters or wastes containing any toxic or poisonous substances or any other materials (including, but not limited to, heavy metals or chemicals) in sufficient quantities to interfere with the biological processes used in the sewage treatment works or that will pass through the sewage treatment works and harm persons, livestock or aquatic life utilizing the natural outlet;
   (I)   Any waters or wastes containing suspended solids of a character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle those materials at the sewage treatment plant;

   (N)   Any liquid wastes containing dyes or other colors that cannot be removed by biological processes or that require special chemical treatment;
   (O)   Any waters or wastes that require excessive quantities of chlorine for stabilization in addition to biological treatment. The amount of excess demand will be determined by comparing the chlorine demand of the waste in question with the average chlorine demand of all other wastes entering the plant; or
   (P)   Any waters or wastes containing radioactive waters or wastes in quantities that may prove injurious to the treatment process or any portion of the sewage treatment system or to persons, animals or plant life.

§ 50.108 WAIVER OF DISCHARGE RESTRICTIONS.
   (A)   A major purpose of this subchapter is to provide for the treatment by the town of as much of the liquid waste produced within the town's service area as possible, while still protecting the town's sewage treatment system. Therefore, the Town Manager may waive the provisions of § 50.107 when, in his or her judgment, the quantity of waste discharged by any person is so small in relation to overall flow into the town's sewage treatment system as to make the offending characteristics of the waste negligible.
   (B)   A waiver granted in accordance with division (A) above shall be considered a temporary measure and shall not ripen into a vested right. Waivers may be revoked by the Manager at any time when he or she determines it is in the interest of the town's sewage treatment system to do so.
(1981 Code, § 14-79)
§ 50.109 SPECIAL AGREEMENTS.
   Notwithstanding the provisions of § 50.107 above, the town may enter into special agreement with any person whereby wastes of unusual strength or character may be admitted into the sanitary sewers for treatment by the town, either before or after approved pretreatment or prehandling, and subject to appropriate payments to the town to cover the extra costs associated with treatment of the wastes.
(1981 Code, § 14-80)
