(A) This subchapter sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment systems of the county and any municipal wastewater treatment providers and enables the county municipal wastewater providers to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Clean Water Act of 1984, as amended, with General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR, Part 403).
(B) The objectives of this subchapter are:
(1) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the county wastewater system or the system of any municipal treatment provider which will interfere with the operation of the systems or contaminate the resulting sludge;
(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the wastewater systems of the county or any municipal wastewater treatment provider which will pass through the systems, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the systems;
(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and sludges from the systems; and
(4) To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the wastewater systems.
(C) This subchapter provides for the regulation of all contributors to the wastewater systems through the issuance of permits to certain nondomestic users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities, requires user reporting, assumes that existing customer's capacity will not be preempted, and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.
(D) This subchapter shall apply to all users of the county and municipal wastewater systems and to all users and persons who are, by contract or agreement with the county or municipality users or contributors of the systems of either. Except as otherwise provided herein, the City Manager or his representative of any city providing wastewater services to the county shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this subchapter.
