(A) If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances, possess the characteristics, or exceed the limitations enumerated in this chapter, or which in the judgment of the City Manager may have a deleterious effect on the treatment works, the City Manager may:
(1) Prohibit the discharge of the waste to a public sewer; or
(2) Temporarily permit the discharge of the waste to a public sewer, subject to any conditions that the City Manager may recommend based on his review of such factors as quantity of the waste in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment works, degrees of treatability of the waste “NPDES permit limitations,” and any other pertinent factors; or
(3) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to a public sewer, including but not limited to the standards set forth in 40 C.F.R. Part 403, entitled “pretreatment standards;” and/or
(4) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge to public sewers.
(B) In all cases, the City Manager shall require payment to cover any additional cost it may incur in connection with the inspecting, sampling, testing, handling and treating the waste not covered by existing sewer charges.
