To the extent consistent with the applicable provisions of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act, the Board of Trustees may grant variances beyond the limitations prescribed in this chapter, provided that the petitioner has demonstrated that failure to receive a variance would work an arbitrary or unreasonable hardship on the petitioner. The burden of showing the arbitrary and unreasonable hardship shall be on the petitioner who shall, before the variance is granted, show the arbitrary and unreasonable hardship to the Committee by clear and convincing proof. In no case shall the Board of Trustees grant any variance whose terms might or could cause an interference of the treatment process or the water distribution system.
