§ 53.063. EXCESSIVE DISCHARGE/WATER METER REQUIREMENTS.

(A)

All users are prohibited from increasing the use of process water or, in any way, attempting to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations contained in the national categorical pretreatment standards, alternative discharge limits, or in any other pollutant-specific limitation developed by the City or State.

(B)

All categorical and significant industrial users are required to possess their own individual water meter for purposes of monitoring the water consumption of that specific facility for any given time interval. At the discretion of the Director or his/her designee, any industrial or commercial user may be required to have a separate water meter to monitor the water consumption of that specific facility for any given time interval. The size requirements for a water meter will be based on known water consumption or the average of three (3) similar industries or will be determined by the Director arbitrarily in the absence of available data. All costs related to the installation of the water meter shall be borne by the user for which it was intended at the prevailing rate.
