On and after June 15, 1962, it is unlawful to operate either an evaporative or a refrigerative type of air cooler within the city regardless of the time when the evaporative or refrigerative cooler has first been constructed, built or installed, so that the effluent thereof shall enter either the storm or sanitary drain system of the city, but on and after June 15, 1962, the cooler must be so arranged or constructed so that the cooling water or other effluent used therein can be reused and recirculated by some mechanical means to be approved by the building inspector of the city.
