§ 64.08. Rejection or required remedial measures for certain wastes.

(a)

If any sewage, waters, or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the wastewater system, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Section 64.04, and which, in the judgment of the Utility Systems Director, may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater system, processes, equipment, receiving waters or effluent disposal systems, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Utility Systems Director may:

(1)

Reject the wastewater;

(2)

Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the wastewater system;

(3)

Require control over the quantities and rates of discharges; and

(4)

Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by the existing taxes or sewer charges.

(b)

If the Utility Systems Director 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 Utility Systems Director, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances, and laws. Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for any sewage, waters, or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the Applicant or user at his or her expense.
