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.

The purpose of this Section is to provide for the recovery of costs from users of the WVSA’s facilities for the implementation of the discharge control program established herein.

(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 3.2)
1. The WVSA may require payment of a surcharge by any user who discharges wastewater of higher than normal concentration or loading of any substance, which results in additional treatment costs to the WVSA. Such surcharges shall be in addition to the regular sewer rent set forth in the rules and regulations of the WVSA.
2. Surcharges shall be established by the WVSA in its duly adopted rules and regulations.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 3.3)
D. Pretreatment Requirements for Industrial Users
1. Any user generating wastewater of a character prohibited from discharge into the sanitary sewer system under Part 3B shall provide for pretreatment of the wastewater as necessary to attain the standards established by this Part 3 and the rules and regulations of the WVSA. The Township may, at its sole discretion and in conformance with the provisions of Act 537, permit the installation of holding tanks for wastes which are not amenable to pretreatment upon application by a user. The installation, operation and maintenance of holding tanks shall be as prescribed by the Township as a condition of its approval.
2. Grease traps or sediment traps shall be provided for the proper handling of waste containing grease, sand or sediment, in amounts above the limits provided herein. All traps shall meet the standards prescribed in § 18-338.
3. Storage, handling, disposal and transportation of materials removed from pretreatment facilities, grease traps or sediment traps shall be accomplished according to all applicable federal, state and local regulations that pertain to the type and/or class of waste generated.
4. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the WVSA shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user’s expense.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 4.1)
1. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and documentation of operating procedures shall be submitted to the WVSA for review, and shall be acceptable to the WVSA before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of constructing, operating or modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the WVSA under the provisions of this Part 3. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the WVSA prior to the user’s initiation of the changes.
2. In addition to approval of WVSA, a building permit may be required by the Township and the provisions of this Part 3 shall not supersede any requirements of the building code applicable to the user’s facilities.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 4.2)
