(A) Pursuant to the requirements imposed on publicly owned wastewater treatment works by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and later amendments, all pretreatment standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for new and existing industrial dischargers to public sewer systems are hereby made a part of this chapter. Any industrial waste discharge which violates these EPA Pretreatment Standards shall be in violation of this chapter.

(C) Any person who transports septic tank, seepage pit or cesspool contents, liquid industrial waste, or other batch liquid waste and wishes to discharge such waste to the public sewer system shall first obtain permission for such discharge from the Manager. All persons receiving such permission shall abide by all applicable provisions of this chapter, and any other special provisions that may be established by the Manager as necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the sewerage system.
(1) It shall be illegal to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the public sewer system, or any building sewer or other facility that discharges to the public sewer system, except at designated points of discharge specified by the Manager for such purposes.
(2) Waste haulers who have been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by the Manager and approved by the city.

(4) Any liquid waste hauler illegally discharging to the public sewer system shall be subject to immediate revocation of discharge privileges, if granted, and further subject to the penalties prescribed in § 52.999.
(5) Nothing in this chapter shall relieve waste haulers of the responsibility for compliance with County Health Department, or state or federal regulations.
(D) No statement contained in this subchapter shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Commission and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted for treatment provided that applicable local, state, and federal pretreatment regulations or the Municipal Utility Commission’s NPDES/KPDES permit are not violated.
