§ 50.04. DISCHARGE OF STORM WATER, COOLING WATER, UNPOLLUTED INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WATER AND THE LIKE.

(A) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into any sanitary sewer, either directly or indirectly, storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water, unpolluted water or unpolluted industrial process water. The town shall require the removal of unpolluted waters from any wastewater collection or treatment facility if the removal is cost effective and is in the best interest of all users of those facilities.

(B) Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water, unpolluted water or unpolluted industrial process water may be admitted to storm sewers which have adequate capacity for their accommodation. No person shall use the sewers without the specific permission of the town. No new connection shall be made to any sanitary, combined or storm sewer unless there is capacity available in all downstream sewers, lift stations, force mains and the sewage treatment plant, including capacity for BOD and suspended solids.

(C) Unpolluted water from air conditioners, cooling, condensing system or swimming pools shall be discharged to a storm sewer, where it is available, or to a combined sewer approved by the town. Where a storm sewer is not available, discharge may be to a natural outlet approved by the town and by the state. Where a storm sewer, combined sewer or natural sewer is not available, the unpolluted water may be discharged to a sanitary sewer pending written approval by the town.
