PREAMBLE
The adoption of rules and regulations is not for the purpose of imposing unnecessary or burdensome regulations upon the use of the sewerage system or wastewater treatment plants of the City of Lorain, Ohio by industrial users, but only to provide for the orderly conduct of the business of the City Utilities Department, in order to prevent the pollution of our natural waterways and the protection of our publicly owned treatment words and our environment.
