(A) All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association. Sampling methods, locations, times, durations and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject to approval by the Village Administrator or his or her duly authorized representative.
(B) Determination of the character and concentration of the industrial wastes shall be made by the user responsible for the discharge, or his or her qualified agent as approved by the Village Administrator. The results of the analyses, shall be reported to the village on a monthly basis on forms provided by the village. The village makes its own analyses on the wastes and these determinations shall be binding as a basis for charges, except under circumstances in division (C) below.
(C) In case the analyses performed by the industry and the village result in substantially different values, an effort shall be made by the industry to collect samples at the same time the village collects its own samples. The results of the analyses on the samples collected by the village and the industry shall be compared using the same testing procedures as outlines in the latest edition of Standard Methods and the differences negotiated.
(D) All costs incident to sampling and analyses shall be borne by each user requiring such testing and analysis. Such costs incurred by the village shall be billed annually to each such user, based upon actual cost to the village, plus reasonable overhead. Such billing shall be billed with, and be considered a part of, the sanitary sewer charge for the month billed.
