  § 21-66. Measurement of volume of industrial waste.  

Latest version.

  • The volume of industrial waste discharged by any person into the sanitary sewer system shall be measured by one or more of the following methods:

    (a)

    If the volume of wastewater produced by any person in his industrial or process operations is substantially the same as the volume of water purchased from the town, then the volume of water purchased shall be considered to be the volume of waste discharged.

    (b)

    If, in the establishment of any person discharging industrial waste into the sanitary sewer system, a substantial portion of the water purchased from the town is used for purposes resulting in normal domestic sewage, for cooling purposes, or for purposes that do not require the discharge of such used water to the sanitary sewer system, such person shall, at his own expense, either (1) install a meter of design approved by the manager or his designee on the water supply line to his industrial process operations or (2) install a meter of design approved by the manager or his designee on the waste line from such industrial process operations. The volume of water or waste flow, respectively, measured through such meter shall be considered to be the volume of industrial waste discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Such meters shall be capable of accurate measurement and recording of all rates of flow or other acceptable measurement to the extent deemed necessary by the town.

    (c)

    If any person now discharging or proposing to discharge industrial waste into the sanitary sewer system does not secure his entire water source from the town such person shall, at his own expense, install a meter of design approved by the manager, or his designee, on the waste line from his industrial process operations. The volume of waste flow, as measured through such meter shall be considered to be the volume of waste discharged to the sanitary sewer system.

    (d)

    The maintenance of such meters in (b) and (c) above are the responsibility of the permittee.
