The purposes of this chapter are to:

(b) Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Municipality's wastewater system which will:
(1) Interfere with the operation of the system;
(2) Cause the treatment plant to violate its NPDES permit;
(3) Contaminate the sludge;
(4) Pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere:
(5) Pose a health threat to sewer workers; or
(6) Be otherwise incompatible with the system.
(c) Improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the system; and
(d) Provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the Municipal wastewater system.
