[Amended 9-14-2004 by Ord. No. 1142; 9-8-2009 by Ord. No. 09-1218, § 3]
Except as may be permitted under Chapter 206, Stormwater Management, any drain or conveyance that allows nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process waste water and wash water to enter the waters of the Commonwealth is prohibited. As authorized under Chapter 206, swimming pool, spa, hot tub, or other chemically treated water may be discharged if the water is dechlorinated and if the discharge does not otherwise significantly contribute to pollution of the waters of the Commonwealth. Swimming pool, spa and hot tub water shall be discharged to a stormwater management facility or on the property at a rate and volume to allow for maximum absorption and infiltration. The discharge shall be dechlorinated and free from pollutants. If authorized by the sanitary sewer operator, swimming pool, spa and hot tub backwash water, neutralized cleaning wastewater and standing water may be discharged to the sanitary sewer system. If a sanitary sewer is not in the immediate area and swimming pool, spa or hot tub water cannot be dechlorinated or otherwise treated onsite to remove pollutants, the water must be hauled off-site for disposal at an approved treatment facility.
