(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)
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)

(B) Persons discharging industrial wastes into the town's sewage treatment system on the effective date of this section shall have a grace period of 3 months to comply with the provisions of division (A) above, and shall thereafter be bound by its requirements.
(C) Application for the permit specified in division (A) above shall be made to the Administrator, and the applicant shall provide whatever information is reasonably required by the Administrator. The permit shall be issued if the Administrator concludes that the applicant will comply with all of the requirements of this subchapter.
(D) The permit requirement set forth in this section for industrial waste discharge is in addition to any other provisions of this chapter relating to applications for service, connections or extensions to the town's sewer system.
(E) After the initial permit is granted, no person may make or cause to be made any substantial change in the nature, character or volume of industrial wastes discharged into the town's sanitary sewer system until a permit is issued by the Administrator authorizing the change. The permit shall be applied for and issued in the same manner as the initial permit under this section.
