§ 9.04.170. Consideration by public works superintendent

The public works superintendent shall not grant a permit if it appears likely in his opinion that the proposed discharge could harm either the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment or jeopardize the ability of the city to meet the discharge requirements made applicable thereto by other governmental agencies having jurisdiction, could otherwise endanger life, limb, public property, or constitute a public or private nuisance, or if the application therefore does not contain sufficient data to enable reasonable evaluation of said factors.

In forming his opinion as to the acceptability of the proposed discharge, the public works superintendent shall give consideration to such factors as the quantities of the subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of the discharge in the treatment plant and other pertinent factors.
