Sewer use permits issued by the city are required for specific categories of users as follows:

A. Permitted Industrial User Permits. All industrial users and industries using/discharging EPA priority pollutants proposing to connect to or to contribute to the community sewers and the POTW shall obtain an industrial use permit before connecting to or contributing to the community sewers. All existing industrial users and industries using/discharging priority pollutants shall obtain wastewater discharge permits within ninety days of the effective date of the ordinance codified in these Chapters 15.44 through 15.76 to the extent said industry or industrial user does not have a valid permit on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this part. The city in its discretion may determine that certain industrial users qualify as minor users which may be exempted from this permit requirement or provide a permit with more limited discharge requirements.

B. Ground Water Remediation Permits. All users proposing to discharge contaminated ground water from a ground water remediation project shall obtain an industrial user permit for the remediation project.

C. Special Discharge Permits. All users proposing to discharge domestic or nonhazardous wastes not in violation of the prohibitions of Sections 15.48.010, 15.48.020 and 15.48.030 from sources not connected to the city sewer shall obtain a special discharge permit.

D. Septic Waste Hauler Permits. All septic waste haulers proposing to discharge to the city sewer must obtain a permit prior to discharging any waste.

E. Garbage Grinder Permits. The city may require nondomestic discharges to community sewers that make use of garbage grinders to obtain a permit for such use in lieu of a prohibition where such use is compatible with the proper operation of community sewers.

F. Other Sewer Use Permits. The city may from time to time employ the use of other permits to implement the prohibition and control measures set forth in this part in lieu of strict prohibitions.
