(A) Deposit. Any company or individual that proposes to use the county sewage system for the discharge of excess sludge from domestic septic tank systems, biological treatment plants with an NPDES permit or waste water from portable sanitary privies must make a deposit to guarantee payment of sewer charges. The deposit shall be established by the water and sewage department, in accordance with the county’s current schedule of rates, fees and charges. When use of the sewer system has been discontinued, and all applicable sewer service charges have been paid, the deposit will be refunded.
(B) Sewer use. Domestic septic tank sludge, treatment plant waste sludge and wastewater from portable sanitary privies shall only be discharged into manholes specifically designated by the Water and Sewer Department for this purpose. The user will be responsible for any and all damages resulting from improper handling and/or spillage. Continued spillage and/or poor handling practices shall be cause for revocation of permission to discharge.
(C) Conditions. A permit to haul each load of septic tank sludge, treatment plant waste sludge or wastewater from portable sanitary privies is required. Permits shall be obtained from the State Department of Health and Environmental Control and the water and sewage department. The permits must be in the possession of the hauler/user at the time of discharge into the county sewer system.
(D) Charges. Charges for discharge of domestic septic tank sludge, treatment plant waste sludge or wastewater from portable sanitary privies will be calculated and billed monthly. The charges will be based on data from the hauling permits issued by the county and the State Department of Health and Environmental Control. Failure to pay bills by the date due shall be cause for revocation of permission to discharge.
