All costs and expense incident to the installation and connection of the lateral shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the City of Wright City, Missouri, from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the lateral.
A separate and independent lateral shall be provided for every building; except where one (1) building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard, or driveway, the lateral from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one (1) lateral.
Old laterals may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and test by the Inspector, to meet all requirements of this Chapter.
The size, slope, alignment, materials of construction of a lateral, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing the pipe, jointing, testing, and backfilling the trench, shall all conform to the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations of the City of Wright City. In the absence of Code provisions or in amplifications thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the American Society of Testing Materials (A.S.T.M.) and Water Pollution Control Federation (W.P.C.F.) Manual of Practice No. 9 shall apply.
Whenever possible, the lateral shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain shall be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the lateral.
No person shall make connection of roof down spouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a lateral or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.

[Ord. No. 200 Art. VI §§1-10, 7-29-1986]
Storm water and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers of storm sewers, or in a natural outlet approved by the Inspector. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Inspector, to a storm sewer, combined sewer, or natural outlet.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any public sewer the following described substances, materials, water or wastes if it appears likely in the opinion of the Inspector that such wastes can harm either the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment, have an adverse effect on the receiving stream, or can otherwise endanger life, limb, public property, or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion as to the acceptability of these wastes, the Inspector will give consideration to such factors as the quantities of 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 wastes in the sewage treatment plant, and other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited are:
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitutes a hazard to humans or animals, creates a public nuisance, or creates any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or higher than 9.5 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works.
Solid or viscous substances in quantities of such size capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works such as, but not limited to, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes, cups, milk containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
A five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand greater than three hundred (300) parts per million; or
Containing more than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million of suspended solids; or
Having an average daily flow greater than two percent (2%) of the average sewage flow of the City; or
Having a concentration of waste constituting a "slug" as defined herein, shall be subject to the review of the Superintendent.
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease, or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of one hundred (100) mg/l or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between thirty-two (32° F) and one hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150° F) (0 and 65° C).
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of three-fourths (3/4) horsepower (0.76 hp metric) or greater shall be subject to the review and approval of the Inspector.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc, and similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive chlorine requirement, to such degree that any material received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the limits established by the Inspector for such materials.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste or odor producing substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established by the Inspector as necessary, after treatment of the composite sewage, to meet the requirements of the State, Federal, or other public agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not limited to, Fullers earth, lime slurries, and lime residues) or of dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate) containing more than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight of suspended solids.
Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes, and vegetable tanning solutions).
If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged into the public sewers, which water contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Subsection (C) of this Section, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
Require the owner, at his own expense, to provide such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the BOD, biochemical oxygen demand, to three hundred (300) parts per million and the suspended solids to three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight;
If the Superintendent permits pretreatment or equalization facilities for waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Inspector, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. Construction of such facilities shall not commence until said approvals are obtained in writing.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Inspector, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property serviced by a lateral carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the lateral to facilitate observation sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Inspector. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the lateral is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb, and property. (The particular analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken.) Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.
No statement contained in this Section shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the City of Wright City and any industrial concern whereby any industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment by the industrial concern.
