If, at any time, such waste becomes of such a quality and/or quantity, that requires pretreatment, then the director shall have the authority to require that proper permits be obtained and proper pretreatment facilities be installed by the permit holder at his expense.
(b) In the event of a significant change in a wastewater system user's wastes being discharged to the public sanitary sewer; the user shall promptly notify the director of the nature of the change in quality or strength and in volume. These changes shall be subject to verification by the town. Appropriate remedies for the adequate treatment of such wastes thus tested may be required by the director. "Significant" is defined here to mean a change of ten (10) percent or more in strength and/or volume of wastes, based on the average flow.
