18-510 : Additives.

  1. Additives include but are not limited to products that contain solvents, emulsifiers, surfactants, caustics, acids, enzymes and bacteria. They may be inorganic or organic in origin.
  2. The use of additives is prohibited with the following exceptions:
    1. Additives may be used to clean FSE drain lines but only in such quantities that will not cause FOG to be discharged from the GCE to the sanitary sewer or cause temporary breakdown of the FOG that will later re-congeal in the downstream sewer pipes.
    2. If a product used can be proven to contain one hundred percent (100%) live bacteria, with no other additives, a request for permission to use the product shall be made to the water and sewer director. The request must be submitted in writing with a full disclosure Material Safety Data Sheet and a certified statement from the manufacture. (Ord. #527, Feb. 2019)
