§ 51.08 ENGINEER’S AUTHORITY AS TO DANGEROUS DISCHARGES.
   (A)   If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 51.07(B) of this code, and which in the judgment of the Engineer, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or public nuisance, the Engineer may do the following:
      (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 to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of § 51.14 of this code.
   (B)   When considering the above alternatives, the Engineer shall give consideration to the economic impact of each alternative on the discharger. If the Engineer 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 Engineer.
