§ 18-109. Measurement of volume of industrial waste.

The volume of industrial waste that is discharged by a significant industrial user into the sanitary sewer system shall be measured by one or more of the following methods:

(a)

If the volume of wastewater that is produced by a significant industrial user is substantially the same as the volume of water that the significant industrial user purchases from the county, then the volume of water purchased shall be the volume of wastewater discharged.

(b)

If a substantial portion of the water that the significant industrial user purchases from the county produces normal domestic sewage or is used for cooling or other purposes that do not produce a discharge of the water to the sanitary sewer system, the significant industrial user shall, at his own expense:

(1)

Install a meter on the water supply line to the industrial process operations; or

(2)

Install a meter on the wastewater line from the industrial process operations.

The volume of water or wastewater flow as measured by the meter shall be considered to be the volume of industrial waste that is discharged into the sanitary sewer system. The meter shall accurately measure and record all rates of flow to the satisfaction of the director.

(c)

If any significant industrial user does not receive his entire water source from the county the significant industrial user shall, at his own expense, install a meter on the wastewater line from his industrial process operation. The volume of waste flow, as measured by the meter, shall be considered to be the volume of waste that the significant industrial user discharges to the sanitary sewer system.

(d)

The director shall approve the design of any meter that is installed in accordance with this section.
