It is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City of Lindon to regulate the collection and treatment of wastewater and to provide for maximum public benefit. The provisions of this Chapter set forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment system for the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), and enable the POTW to comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws.

The objectives of this Chapter are:

1. To prevent the introduction into the POTW wastewater system of pollutants which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting biosolids?

2. To prevent the introduction into the POTW wastewater system of pollutants which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or which would be incompatible with the system;

3. To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim waste waters and biosolids from the system; D. To provide for equitable distribution among users of the cost of the POTW wastewater system; and

4. To provide for and promote the general health, safety and welfare of the citizens residing within the POTW service area.

The provisions herein provide for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the POTW wastewater system through the issuance of permits and through enforcement of general requirements for all users. They authorize monitoring and enforcement activities, require user reporting, assume that existing users’ capability will not be preempted, and provide for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein. The provisions herein shall apply to the POTW, users of the POTW, and any person or entity otherwise regulated by this Chapter.
