In cases where the character of sewage or industrial waste from any manufacturing or industrial plant, building or premises shows excessive flow rates or concentration of pollutants such that it imposes an unreasonable burden upon the sewage collection, pumping or treatment works greater than that imposed by the average sewage entering the sewage system, the Authority may:
(a) Require such manufacturing or industrial plant, building or premises to pretreat such sewage in such manner as specified by the Authority before discharging it into the sewerage system;
(b) Require flow control or equalization of such wastes so as to avoid any slug loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to the treatment works;
(c) Require payment of a surcharge on any loadings discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional costs of treating such wastes; and/or
(d) Require payment of a capacity charge on any excessive flows discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional costs of having capacity for such wastes.
