Editor's note— Ord. No. 834, § 5, adopted Feb. 22, 2011, repealed Ch. 13.28, in its entirety and enacted new provisions to read as herein set out. Prior to this amendment, Ch. 13.28 pertained to similar subject matter. See Ordinance List and Disposition Table for derivation.

The city engineer will classify all users in accordance with the principal activity conducted on the premises where the discharge occurs. The purpose of the classification is to facilitate regulation of discharges to the subregional system on the basis of each user's waste quality, quantity, flow, and city involvement; to provide an effective means of source control of toxic substances; and to provide a basis for sewer use charges to insure an equitable recovery of capital and operating costs. User permit classifications are as follows:

(A) Nonresidential User. Users that discharge non-domestic wastewater to the sanitary sewer system and do not meet the criteria of SIU.

(B) Zero Discharger. Users who do not discharge to the sanitary sewer system, except domestic wastewater, do not have pollutants resulting from any commercial or industrial process, have no floor drains, and do not generate wastewater.

(C) Significant Industrial User as defined in section 13.12.020.

(D) Ongoing Groundwater Discharger. Users that discharge wastewater generated from groundwater remediation projects in excess of six months.

(E) One-Time Discharger. Users that discharge wastewater generated as a result of purging monitoring wells, dewatering underground storage tanks, groundwater sampling, or for a variety of other reasons for projects that will not exceed six months.

(F) Waste Hauler. Haulers that service domestic waste systems. Such systems include septic tanks, cesspools, chemical toilets, trailers, or campers."
