§ 13.08.150. Prohibited uses generally—Wastewater.

No person shall discharge, deposit, throw, or cause, allow, or permit to be discharged, deposited, or thrown, into a building sewer or the sanitary sewer system, any substance of any kind whatsoever which shall cause or tend to cause an obstruction or damages to the sewer system, or which shall cause or tend to cause a nuisance or hazard, or which will in any manner obstruct or tend to obstruct the efficient operation or maintenance of the sewer system. Wastewater may not be discharged to the collection system that would cause a violation of the water quality limitations or preclude the selection of the most cost-effective alternative for wastewater treatment and sludge disposal.

Federal and state statutes governing wastewater and water discharges into the collection system supersede all requirements and provisions of this section and Sections 13.08.160 through 13.08.180, therefore, the Director of Public Works shall neither approve nor permit any wastewater discharges into the collection systems that are in violation of these statutes, notwithstanding any provisions in this chapter to the contrary.
