The inclusion of these new provisions in the amended Sewer Use Ordinance will better facilitate compliance with the general purpose of sewer use regulations to provide for comprehensive, uniform requirements for use of those portions of the York Township Sanitary sewer collection system consistent and in connection with wastewater collection and publicly owned treatment works for the YCUA, and in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the general pretreatment regulations (40 CFR Part 403), and to provide for the administration and enforcement thereof.
