(Prior code § 68.140)

The provisions of Articles I to VII, inclusive, of this chapter requiring permits shall not apply to the city or to contractors constructing public sewers and appurtenances under contracts awarded and entered into under proceedings had or taken pursuant to any of the special procedure statutes of this state providing for the construction of sewers and the assessing of the expenses thereof against the lands benefited thereby, or under contracts between the contractor and city council.

(Prior code § 68.141)

Permits issued under this chapter are not transferable from one person to another, or from one place to another, and connections shall not be made at any place other than the location specifically designated therein.

(Prior code § 68.142)

Any person requiring a permit under the provisions of this chapter shall make written application therefor to the director, giving such information as the director may require. The director shall provide printed application forms for the various types of work permitted under this chapter, indicating thereon the information to be furnished by the applicant. The director may require, in addition to the information furnished by the printed form, any additional information from the applicant which will enable the director to determine that the proposed work complies with the provisions of this chapter.

(Prior code § 68.143)

If it appears from the application for any permit required by this chapter that the work to be performed thereunder is to be done according to the provisions of this chapter, the director, upon receipt of the fees required, shall issue such permit.

Before granting a permit for the construction of any main line sewer, with or without sewer service laterals, the director shall check and approve the plans and specifications therefor as to their compliance with city, state and other governmental laws or ordinances, and as to conformity with the standards of design established by this chapter.

(Prior code § 68.147)

Before granting an industrial waste discharge permit to any applicant to discharge any industrial liquid waste or industrial sewage into any public sewer, the director shall determine either that the waste is one which will not damage or destroy the public sewer or cause an unwarranted increase in the cost of maintenance of the public sewer or retard or inhibit the treatment of the sewage, or is one that can be made acceptable by pretreatment.

(Prior code § 68.148)

In the event pretreatment is required to make the waste acceptable, as provided under Section 13.12.150, the application for a permit to dispose of industrial liquid waste or industrial sewage shall be accompanied by suitable plans and specifications showing the method of collection and pretreatment proposed to be used, and a permit shall not be issued until said plans and specifications, or required modifications thereof, have been checked and approved by the director.

(Prior code § 68.149)
