If any sewage is discharged or is proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which contains the substances or possesses the characteristics enumerated in Sections 925.08 or 925.09, and which in the judgement of the Service-Safety Director may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment or receiving waters, including violation of applicable water quality standards, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Director shall:
(a) Reject the wastes,
(b) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers,
(c) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge,
(d) Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes.
All industrial wastes discharged to the public sewers shall meet all national standards established by Federal Regulations, except as specified herein.
If the Service-Safety Director requires pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. Each industry shall file a copy of the approved plans for pretreatment or equalization with the Director.
