18-242 : Septic tank plumbing, hauling and discharge.

No person owning vacuum or "cesspool" pump trucks or other liquid waste transport trucks shall discharge directly or indirectly such sewage into the sewer, unless such person shall first have applied for and received a "Truck Discharge Operation Permit" from the superintendent. All applicants for a "Truck Discharge Operation Permit" shall complete such forms as required by the superintendent, pay appropriate fees, and agree in writing to abide by the provisions of this chapter and any special conditions or regulations established by the superintendent. The owners of such vehicles shall affix and display the permit number on the side of each vehicle used for such purposes. Such permits shall be valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance, provided that such permit shall be subject to revocation by the superintendent for violation of any provision of this chapter or reasonable regulation established by the superintendent. Such permits shall be limited to the discharge of domestic sewage waste containing no industrial waste. The superintendent shall designate the times and locations where such trucks may be discharged; and may refuse to accept any truckload of waste, in his absolute discretion, where it appears that the waste could interfere with the effective operation of the treatment works, or any sewer line or appurtenance thereto. (1976 Code, § 13-243)
