No. 469, § 2, 5-14-74) Supp.No.2 1171 § 16-23 EULESS CODE § 16-23 Sec. 16-23. Special procedures relating to industrial waste. (a) Permits. From and after ninety (90) days after the effective date hereof, it shall be unlawful for any person to deposit or discharge industrial waste into any sanitary sewer in the city without having first obtained an industrial waste permit from the City of Euless and having complied with all of the applicable provisions hereof. Within ninety (90) days after the effective date hereof, any person desiring to deposit or discharge, or who is now depositing or discharging, indus- trial waste into any sanitary sewer in the city shall make application to the chief building inspector on request. The chief building inspector shall refer all such applications to the director for his approval or disapproval. The director shall approve such applications and grant an industrial waste permit only when the evidence submitted by the appli- cant demonstrates that the waste or wastewater to be de- posited by the applicant in the sanitary sewer will comply with all the regulations of this Code. Each permit shall contain the following information: (1) Name and address of applicant; (2) Type of industry; (3) Quantity of plant waste; (4) Typical analysis of the waste; (5) Type of pretreatment proposed. (b) Structures required. Within ninety (90) days after the effective date hereof, any person discharging industrial waste into a sanitary sewer in the city shall construct a suitable control manhole downstream from any treatment or storage tanks or other approved works utilized by such person for pretreatment, such control manhole to be for the purpose of facilitating observations, measurements and sam- pling of all waste created and discharged by such person. The control manhole shall be constructed at a location and in a manner approved by the city. The control manhole shall be Supp.No.2 1172 § 16-23 WATER AND SEWERS § 16-23 constructed and installed at the expense of the person dis- charging the waste, and it shall be maintained at the expense of such person at all times in a safe, acceptable and proper operating condition. (c) Disconnection. If any person, depositing or discharg- ing industrial waste into the sanitary sewer, fails to secure an industrial waste permit within the time prescribed herein or if any person allows or causes waste of unacceptable quali- ty under the requirements of this section of the Code to be discharged into any sanitary sewer in the city, the director is authorized, if such person is using the city water, to dis- connect such person's service line from the city water system and/or the city sanitary sewer system and the same shall only be reconnected at the owner's expense. If such person does not use city water, the director is authorized to discon- nect such person's service line from the city's sanitary sewer system and the same shall only be reconnected at the owner's expense. The director shall notify the occupant or user of the premises where the waste is generated twenty- four (24) hours before disconnecting the service line. No sanitary sewer connection or water connection disconnected hereunder shall be reconnected until the condition causing the disconnection has been corrected. (d) Inspection. The inspectors, agents or representatives of the City of Euless charged with the enforcement of this section of the Code shall be deemed to be performing a gov- ernmental function for the benefit of the general public and neither the City of Euless, the director nor the individual inspector, agent or representative shall ever be held liable for any loss or damage, whether real or asserted, caused or alleged to have been caused as a result of the performance of such governmental function. The owners or occupants of premises where industrial waste is created or discharged into the sanitary sewer shall allow the director, his inspec- tors, agents or representatives free access at all reasonable times to all parts of such premises for the purpose of inspec- tion or sampling or the performance of any of their duties Supp.No.2 1173 § 16-23 EULESS CODE § 16-23 hereunder, and the failure or refusal of such owners or occu- pants to comply with this provision shall be grounds for the disconnection of the water and/or sewer service. (e) Measurement of flow. The volume of flow used in computing abnormal sewage surcharges shall be based upon metered water consumption as shown in the records of meter readings maintained by the Euless water department. In the event that a person discharging waste into the city's sani- tary sewer system produces evidence to the director demon- strating that a substantial portion of the total amount of water used for all purposes does not reach the city's sewer system, an estimated percentage of total water consumption to be used in computing charges may be established by the city. Any person discharging industrial waste into the sanitary sewers of the city who procures any part of his water supply from sources other than the Euless water department, all or part of which is discharged into the sanitary sewer, shall ^� install and maintain at his expense water meters of the type approved by the city for the purpose of determining the proper volume of flow to be used in computing sewer serv- ice charges. Such meters shall be read monthly and tested for accuracy when deemed necessary by the city. Where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the city that a substantial portion of the water as measured by the aforesaid meter, or meters, does not enter the sanitary sewer system of the city, then the city may require or permit the installation of additional meters at the owner's expense in such manner as to measure the quantity of water used to determine the sewer service charge and abnormal sewage surcharge may be the quantity of water actually entering the sewerage system as so determined, if the city so elects. If the city finds that it is not practicable to measure the quantity or quality of waste by the aforesaid meters or moni- toring devices, he shall determine the quantity or quality of the waste in any manner or method he may find practicable in order to arrive at the percentage of water entering the sanitary Supp.No.2 1174 § 16-23 WATER AND SEWERS § 16-24 sewerage system of the city and/or quality of the sewer service charge and surcharge. (f) Determining the character and concentration of waste. The industrial waste discharged or deposited into the sani- tary sewers shall be subject to periodic inspection and sam- pling as often as may be deemed necessary by the city. Samples shall be collected in such manner as to be representative of the character and concentration of the waste [and] shall be those set forth in the Standard Methods. The laboratory meth- ods used in the examination of said waste shall be those set forth in the Standard Methods. The determination of the character and concentration of industrial waste shall be made by the city at such times and on such schedules as may be established by the director. Should an owner or occupant discharging industrial waste to the sanitary sewers desire a determination of the quailty of such industrial waste be made at some time other than that scheduled by the city, such special determination may be made by the director at the expense of the owner or occupant discharging the waste. (Ord. No. 469, § 3, 5-14-74) Sec. 16-24. Pretreatment and surcharge. (a)! Owners or occupants or any other person generating waste prohibited from discharge into public sewers by the foregoing shall pretreat or otherwise dispose of such pro- hibited waste so as to make the waste discharged to the pub- lic sewer acceptable under the standards established in this article. (b) Abnormal sewage surcharge: [A] person generating abnormal sewage may discharge such sewage into the sanitary sewer provided: (1) The waste will not cause damage to the collection sys- tem; (2) The waste will not impair the treatment processes; (3) The person discharging such waste pays a monthly surcharge to the Euless water department in addition Supp.No.2 1175 § 16-24 EULESS CODE § 16-24 to the usual monthly sewer service charges. Computa- tions of such surcharges shall be based on the following formula:* SC = surcharge based on excessive concentrations of BOD and/or SS (dollars per month) Q = flow (million gallons per month)1 a=annually adjusted unit cost of treatment, charge- able to BOD (dollars per pound of BOD introduced to system) b=annually adjusted unit cost of treatment, charge- able to SS (dollars per pound of SS introduced to system) The value of BOD and/or SS concentrations in this cal- culation will be the average of values determined by standard testing procedures. (c) It shall be the responsibility of any person, owner or occupant discharging waste into the sanitary sewerage system of the city to furnish the city with drawings or plans and speci- fications in such detail as he may require to determine if the pretreatment structure planned by such person, or in use by such person, is suitable for the purpose intended. However, the approval of such plans by the city will in no way relieve such person of the responsibility for modifying the structure once constructed as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the city under the terms of this article. (Ord. No. 469, § 4, 5- 14-74) *Editor's note—At the direction of the city, the formula is excluded from the Code.
