(A) There shall be two (2) classes of building sewer permits required;
(1) class 1 for residential; and
(2) class 2 for service to commercial and industrial establishments.
In either case, the owner(s) or his agent shall make application of a special form furnished by the city. Applicants for service to commercial and industrial establishments shall be required to furnish information about all waste producing activities, wastewater characteristics and constituents. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent as necessary before a permit can be issued. Characteristics of typical domestic wastewater shall be established by the city. Details regarding commercial and industrial permits include, but are not limited to those required by this chapter. Permit and inspection fees shall be paid to the city at the time the application is filed. All users of the city's sewer system must have a permit. Existing customers will be allowed a grace period of six (6) months from the effective date of this chapter to apply for a permit. New customers will be required to apply for a permit before they are allowed to connect to the city's sewer. A permit application and inspection fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for a class 1 residential permit and one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a class 2 commercial or industrial permit shall be paid to the city at the time the application is filed.
(B) Users shall promptly notify the city in advance of any introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater constituents being introduced into the POTW. The Superintendent may deny or condition the new introduction or change in discharge based on the information submitted in the notification or additional information as may be requested.
(C) No person(s) shall uncover, plug or make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a permit from the city. The city will, upon application to the city and payment of any tapping or connection fee, issue a permit to the applicant to tap the city sewer and run a lateral to the property line of any applicant where sewers are available, and any installations or attachments shall be made by the applicant under the direction and supervision of the city, provided that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the city to furnish a sewer connection or sewer services to any premises where a city sewer is not available at the time that the application is made. Any permit received is not assignable by the customer.
