§ 18-317. Excessive Dilution .

   No user shall ever increase the use of process water or, in any way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations contained in the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, or in any pollutant-specific limitations developed by the WVSA or the Commonwealth; provided, however, that dilution may be an acceptable means of complying with certain of the prohibitions set forth in § 18-311, e.g., the pH and temperature prohibitions, if such dilution is authorized by an industrial wastewater discharge permit.

(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 2.7)

§ 18-318. Prohibition on Discharge of Stormwater and Cooling Water.

   No user shall discharge any stormwater, including, but not limited to, basement or foundation drainage, or any uncontaminated cooling water into the sanitary sewer system, provided that such discharges are allowable into those portions of the sewer system (if any) that are designated combined sewers by the Township. When, upon application to do so, the direct discharge of uncontaminated cooling water has been prohibited by the PADEP, the Township and WVSA may permit such a discharge into the sanitary sewer system upon application by the user to do so.
