It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to engage in the business of cleaning or pumping out cesspools or septic tanks in the city or to remove, transport or dispose of the sludge from cesspools or septic tanks by transporting the same across or along any of the streets, alleys or public ways of the city without having first complied and being in compliance with the terms of this chapter. It is unlawful for anyone to discharge septic tank sewage at any location within the city except into the city’s westside wastewater treatment plant or into a wastewater treatment facility which has been approved in writing by the director of public works. It is unlawful for anyone to use the city’s wastewater collection or treatment facilities for treatment and disposal of septic tank sewage which had been created or generated outside of Clark County, except by special permit. Such special permit may be granted on terms and conditions as approved by the director of public works if the director finds that the plant can properly handle and treat such sewage and that there is no practical alternative for its disposal. Discharge shall not be permitted unless the truck dumping such septic tank sewage has a three-inch or four-inch discharge vertically downward with a valve to suitably throttle the discharge. The fee to discharge into the city’s treatment plant shall be determined as set forth in VMC 14.04.230 and shall include any surcharge levied by the Southwest Washington Health District. (Ord.
