(A) This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for dischargers into the township wastewater collection and treatment systems, and enables the township to protect public health in conformity with all applicable local, state and federal laws relating thereto. It is unlawful to discharge sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes to the sewage works without having complied with the terms of this chapter.
(B) The objectives of this chapter are:
(1) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the township wastewater systems which will interfere with the normal operation of the systems or contaminate the resulting municipal sludge;
(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the township wastewater systems which do not receive adequate treatment in the publicly owned treatment works (POTW), and which will pass through the system into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;
(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and sludge from the system;
(4) To regulate the use of public and private sewers and drains;
(5) To regulate the installation and connection of sewer connections; and
(6) To provide penalties for the violation thereof.
