(a) If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters or wastes contain the substances or possess the characteristics set forth in Section 1046.43(a), and, in the judgment of the City Manager, may interfere with, pass through or otherwise be incompatible with the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or may otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the City Manager may:
(1) Prohibit discharge of the waters or wastes to the public sewers;
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; or
(4) Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the waters or wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges.
(b) Should the City Manager permit the pretreatment or equalization of any waste flows, the design and installation of the plant and of the equipment therefor shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Manager.
(c) When considering the above alternatives, the City Manager shall give consideration to the economic impact of each alternative on the discharger.
