This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for discharges into the wastewater treatment system and enables the City to protect public health and the environment in conformity with all applicable State and Federal laws relating thereto. The objectives of this chapter are:

(1) To protect the health of the City employees or agents working in the City wastewater treatment system;

(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the City wastewater treatment system that will interfere with the normal operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;

(3) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the City wastewater treatment system that do not receive adequate treatment in the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and that will pass through the system into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;

(4) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and sludge from the system; and

(5) To allow the use of fees and charges to recover the costs of operation, maintenance and administration of the wastewater treatment system. (Ord. 106 § 1(1), passed 10-9-2012; Code 2014 § 52.01(D)(1))
