Dave Dudnsky recently showed you pictures of <br /> our plugged force main that discharges from Lift Station 7 just south of the tennis courts.The <br /> City has spent a significant amount of time and effort to open the force main. In addition the City <br /> had to hire contractors who had the specialized equipment necessary to remove the grease from <br /> the force main. <br /> The City of Wayzata has adopted rules designed to protect it's infrastructure including the <br /> sanitary sewer. Wayzata City Code Section 402.08 references rules of the Metropolitan Council <br /> Environmental Services (formerly Metropolitan Waste Control Commission) entitled Waste <br /> Discharge Rules which regulates the quantity and quality of waste discharge into public sewers. <br /> The rules also include enforcement and administration of criminal and civil penalties. <br /> According to MCES Waste Discharge Rules Section 406.00.No person, except as authorized in <br /> a permit, shall discharge or cause to be discharged into public sewers any of the following <br /> materials: <br /> 406.04 Any wastewater containing fat, wax, tallow, grease, or oil of animal or vegetable <br /> origin in excess of 100 milligrams per liter, that is likely to solidify, become viscous, or <br /> become water insoluble, and is likely to cause obstruction to the flow in public sewers or <br /> cause interference or pass-through. <br /> 406.05 Any solid or viscous material in amounts which are likely to cause obstruction to <br /> the flow in a public sewer or interference with the operation of public sewers. <br /> Prohibited materials include but are not limited to: garbage particles. <br /> 406.21 Garbage, discarded material and grease from non-domestic sources which results <br /> from the handling,processing, storage,preparation, serving and consumption of food, <br /> when the effect of such disposal into public sewers is the avoidance of off-site solid <br /> waste disposal;provided, however,that this section does not prohibit sink-fed garbage <br /> disposal units used for incidental food waste disposal. <br /> Phone: 952-404-5311 Fax: 952-404-5318 email: don(wavzata.org home page: <br /> www.wavzata.org <br />
