(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Utility Director may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Utility Director may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow.
(C) Oil and sand interceptors shall be provided by the user when, in the opinion of the Utility Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. Grease interceptors are a mandatory requirement for any food service facilities in the city. The interceptors are required to be an in-ground unit with a minimum 1,000 gallon capacity; except where space does not allow, then considerations could be made with requirements to have them cleaned more often so as to function properly. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved by the Utility Director or City Engineering Dept. and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at their expense.
(D) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
