The following regulations shall govern the disposal of septic tank cleanings at the sewage treatment plant:

(A) A license fee of $25.00 for the privilege of dumping shall be paid to the office of the sanitary district, 21 East Washington Street, not later than February 1 of each year for the current year.

(B) An additional fee of $1.50 up to 1,000 gallon truck tank; $2.00 from 1,000 to 1,500 gallon truck tank; $2.50 from 1,500 to 2,000 gallon truck tank shall be due and payable upon receipt of invoice from the sanitary district. These invoices shall be issued monthly.

(C) Tank trucks entering the plant shall not exceed 15 miles per hour upon entering the operating area. The driver shall stop at the operating building and register each load in the log book provided for that purpose giving the time, date, location from which cleanings were removed, and any other information required from him. This must be done for each and every load before permission is granted to empty the truck tank at location designated.

(D) The board of sanitary commissioners reserves the right, through its district superintendent, to refuse any and all undesirable wastes that may tend to interfere with the biological process or place an undue solids load, grease or oil, or combustible material load on the plant.

(E) The designated unloading point at the plant shall be used for all dumping. Discharge into manholes, catch basins, or clean-outs, in the sewerage system being strictly forbidden.

(F) The customer shall furnish any required samples from any designated load to the plant laboratory upon request.

(G) Cleanings from grease pits, grease traps, or chemical holding tanks from any industry, commercial establishment, or school will not be accepted for treatment.

(H) Dumping hours at the plant will be from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday, and from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Saturday. Dumping on Sunday is strictly prohibited.

(I) Violations of the foregoing regulations will be sufficient cause for revocation of dumping privileges.
