(a) If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewer, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 15-421 of this article, and which in the judgment of the city may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater facilities, processed, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to same or constitute a public nuisance, the city may:
(1) Reject the wastes;
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(4) Require payment, under the provisions of § 15-427 of this article to cover added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges.
(b) When considering the above alternatives, the city shall give consideration to the economic impact of each alternative on the discharge. If the city permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the city.
