If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged into the public sewers, which waters or wastes contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in this section, and which in the judgment of the Health Officer or City Manager may interfere with, pass through or otherwise be incompatible with the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise may create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Health Officer or City Manager may do any of the following:
(a) Prohibit discharge of the wastes into the public sewer;
(b) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge into the public sewers;
(c) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; or
(d) Require payment to cover added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges.
Should the Health Officer or City Manager permit the pretreatment or equalization of any waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment therefor shall be subject to the review and approval of the Health Officer or City Manager.
When considering the alternatives provided in this section, the Health Officer or City Manager shall give consideration to the economic impact of each alternative on the discharger.
