(A) Purpose And Policy: This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors to the sanitary sewer system for the village of Manteno, Illinois, and POTW which will enter or be discharged into the city of Kankakee's sanitary sewer system, and enables the village of Manteno and city to comply with applicable state and federal laws required by the clean water act of 1977 (public law 95-217) and the general pretreatment regulations (40 CFR part 403).
The objectives of this chapter are to:
1. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sanitary sewer system, which will interfere with the operation of the sanitary system or POTW or contaminate the resulting sludge.
2. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sanitary sewer system or POTW, which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system.
3. Improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater sludges from the POTW.
4. Provide for equitable distribution of the operation and maintenance costs incurred by KMU in implementing the industrial pretreatment program.
This chapter provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the Kankakee sanitary sewer system and POTW through the issuance of permits to certain nondomestic users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities, requires user reporting, assumes that existing customers' capacity will not be preempted, and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.
This chapter shall apply to the users within the village of Manteno who are by contract with the city, users of the Kankakee city sanitary sewers.
(B) Administration: Except as otherwise provided herein, the superintendent shall administer, implement, and enforce the provisions of this chapter. Any powers granted to or duties imposed upon the superintendent may be delegated by the superintendent to other KMU personnel.
