(b) The objectives of this article are:
(1) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Municipal wastewater system which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Municipal wastewater system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;
(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the system; and
(4) To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the wastewater system.
(c) This article provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors of the Municipal wastewater system through the issuance of permits to certain non-domestic users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities, requires user reporting, assumes that existing customer's capacity will not be pre-empted, and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.
(d) This article shall apply to the City and to persons outside the City who are, by contract or agreement with the City, users of the City POTW. This article is a supplement to Section 921.10 as amended.
