CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICE (Reserved. There are presently no separate classifications of sewer service.) II. WASTEWATER TREATMENT LIMITATIONS A. Orange County has contracted with the Town of Hillsborough which contract provides that the Town will treat wastewater generated by the System subject to the following conditions contained in the agreement between the County and Town: No customer shall be allowed to connect to the County system unless and until such customer's proposed. discharge has been found acceptable by both the Town and County. Approval shall be predicated on (1) the quality of the effluent of the potential user being compatible with the Town's NPDES discharge permit, (2) compliance with the Town's ordinance, rules and regulations concerning pretreatment of industrial wastewater, and (3) all County (subdivision, zoning, erosion, building, etc.) and State (DOT, etc.) permits having been properly granted. Under no circumstances will the County permit the discharge of septic sewage in its system. B. Once connected to the sewer system, all customer discharge into the system shall comply with the Town of Hillsborough's Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO), which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Resolution. Orange County shall have the ability to enforce the discharge rules given in the Town's SUO to the full extent allowed by law, including disconnection from the sewer system and refusal of further sewer service. C. FAT, OIL AND GREASE (FOG): FOG in the collection system causes many problems. The Town's SUO contains specific language regarding FOG control measures for non-residential customers. As such, the Town's FOG policies and regulations are also incorporated by reference into this Resolution and are enforceable by the County to the full extent allowed by law.
