E. Users with industrial sewage will be required to install and maintain devices to measure the sewage strength and flow at no expense to the City. The City will have access to flow metering and sampling equipment.
4. Industrial Pretreatment Agreement Criteria
A. A customer discharging industrial sewage may be required to enter into an industrial pretreatment agreement with the City before discharging industrial sewage to the City’s system.
