(A) If sewer system capacity is not available, the Director may restrict discharge until sufficient capacity can be made available. The Director must advise any person desiring to locate a new facility of the areas where wastewater of the proposed quantity and quality can be received by available sewer system capacity. The Director may refuse immediate service to any new facility located in an area where there is insufficient capacity in the city's sewer system to accommodate the proposed quality and quantity of the wastewater or where the discharge of the wastewater will violate any of the provisions of this chapter or cause the city's wastewater treatment plant to violate its NPDES permit.
(B) The Director may restrict the rate of discharge into any sanitary sewer during the peak flow hours (8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) or at any other time when required to prevent the overloading of the sewer system. A discharger so restricted must be required either to curtail the discharger's rate of discharge or to provide approved storage or retention facilities for the wastewater. Wastewater so retained may be discharged into a sanitary sewer between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., or during other periods prescribed by the Director, at a rate of flow, which the sewer system can accommodate.
