<br /> 1 (n) Any matter which, in the opinion of the Mayor, might
<br /> interfere with the satisfactory operation of any treatment plants or any
<br /> 2 portion of the Sewer System.
<br /> 3 In the event that sewage or other matter having or exceeding the
<br /> above characteristics is discharged into the sewer system, in addition to
<br /> 4 other remedies, including criminal prosecution, the Public Works Director
<br /> shall issue a cease and desist order. Further, the Public Works Director
<br /> 5 shall investigate the circumstances of said excess pollutant discharges or
<br /> sewer system blockages and estimate the cost of correction and/or
<br /> 6 treatment of said discharges during the time said discharges have
<br /> occurred, and the cost of correction or treatment of said discharges shall
<br /> be added to the sewer charges of the customer discharging said sewage or
<br /> other matter. Said costs shall be subject to adjustment in accordance
<br /> 8 with the Utility Billing Supervisor's procedures.
<br /> 9 In the event that the Public Works Director finds that excess
<br /> pollutant discharges of liquids containing suspended solids in excess of 250
<br /> 10 parts per million or matter having a five day BOD in excess of 200 parts
<br /> per million or fats, oils and grease in excess of 50 ppm. may be continued
<br /> 11 without impairing proper operation of the Everett sewage system, the
<br /> Public Works Director may issue an excess pollutant discharge permit and
<br /> 12 establish charges therefor. Said permit shall be revocable at any time by
<br /> the Public Works Director upon finding that continued discharge of
<br /> 13 sewage exceeding the above standards will impair operation of the
<br /> Everett sewer system at the time of sewer connection application. All
<br /> 14 applicants intending to operate any industrial or manufacturing operations
<br /> shall submit data concerning type of wastewater discharges and the Public
<br /> 15 Works Director shall consider issuance of an excess pollutant discharge
<br /> permit at that time.
<br /> 16
<br /> Correction of sewer system blockage shall be charged on a time
<br /> 17 and material basis. The City Council shall by resolution establish the
<br /> charges for excess pollutant discharge on the basis of an annual analysis
<br /> 18 of sewer collection and treatment costs.
<br /> 19
<br /> is hereby amended to read hereafter as follows:
<br /> 20
