(1) The Public Works Superintendent may immediately and effectively halt or prevent any discharge of pollutants to the POTW which reasonably appear to present an imminent endangerment to the health or welfare of persons. In such cases, the Public Works Superintendent will provide the user advance notice if possible, but shall not delay a response to imminent endangerment.

(2) The Public Works Superintendent may halt or prevent any discharge to the POTW which presents or may present an endangerment to the environment or which threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW (including the collection system and pump stations). In such cases, the Public Works Superintendent shall attempt to provide not only notice to the affected user(s), but the opportunity to respond.

(3) Any user causing the Public Works Superintendent to exercise the emergency authorities provided for under subsections (1) and (2) of this section shall be responsible for reimbursement of all related costs to the Town.

(4) The Public Works Superintendent may require users to reduce or curtail certain discharges to the sewer, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and take all other measures to protect the POTW and determine the user’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(5) The Public Works Superintendent, based on the determination that such devices are necessary for implementation of pretreatment requirements, may require any user to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, the following devices:

(6) Users installing any of the above devices shall ensure they are of the type and capacity approved by the Public Works Superintendent, meet applicable building and plumbing codes, and conform to any separate requirements established by the Town. Users shall locate units in areas easily accessible for cleaning and inspection by representatives of the Public Works Superintendent. Users shall be responsible for all periodic inspection, cleaning, and repair of such devices. (Ord. 445-N, §1, 2014)
