GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment system for the city and enables the city to comply with all applicable state and federal laws required by the Clean Water Act of 1977, being 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq. and the general Pretreatment Regulations (40 C.F.R. § 403).
(B) The objectives of this chapter are:
(1) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;
(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the system; and
(4) To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the municipal wastewater system.
(C) This chapter provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the municipal wastewater system through the issuance of permits to certain nondomestic users, enforcement of general requirements for all users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities, requires industrial user reporting and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.
(D) This chapter shall apply to the city and to persons outside the city who are, by contract or agreement with the city, users of the city's publicly owned treatment works (POTW). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Public Works Director shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this chapter.
(1997 Code, § 620.1) (Ord. 91-05, passed 9-2-1991)
It shall be unlawful for any person, business or industry to use the Midway Sewer System unless the person, business or industry also uses the Midway Water System.
