In as much as the sanitary sewers of the city are not designed to handle the volume of cooling water produced by air conditioning units, the discharge of cooling water from air conditioning units, three tons of refrigeration or air conditioning and larger, draining into any one building drain, without cooling towers or recirculating systems is prohibited unless no other alternative is available. Under such circumstances, a flat per gallon fee shall be charged at the same rate as a sewer charge. Cooling water which is free from bacteria and harmful chemicals should be drained into storm water drains.
