18-223 : Testing, analysis and standards.
- All measurements, tests, and analysis of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this policy, shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater", published by the American Public Health Association; and shall be determined at the control or inspection manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analysis involved will determine whether a twenty-four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analysis are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.) Should test results from a manhole downstream from a user's building sewer drain be controverted, then said user and/or property owner will be required to provide an inspection manhole as described in § 18-222.
- No statement contained in this chapter shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the city and any industrial or commercial concern, whereby industrial wastes, grease, fats, oils or wax of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the city for treatment, subject to payment therefore, by said concerns. Disposal of any pollutant by any person into the sewer system must be in compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act of 1977, and any other more stringent State and local standards. (1976 Code, § 13-223)
