of public health, safety and welfare to eliminate any
malfunctioning, defective, overloaded or improp¬erly
installed on-site septic systems within the Village and
to provide for easements and necessary repairs and
enforcement procedures in order to carry out this
purpose. Nothing contained in this chapter shall
prohibit a property owner from maintaining, repairing or
installing an on-site septic system, also known as an
on-site septic facility, provided that such an on-site
septic system can meet all lawful requirements and is
not in a court-ordered designated pollution area. The
Village shall not require any such property owner to
connect to the pressure sewer system.

1040.14 PROHIBITED DISCHARGES (ON-SITE SEPTIC SYSTEMS).
(a) Council shall, from time to time, as it may
determine, set standards for pretreatment or designation
of those substances or concentrations or varieties
thereof which shall be prohibited from introduction into
any on-site septic system. Such restriction shall be
contained in rules and regulations to be adopted or
formulated by the Waste Water Management District from
time to time. As a minimum standard, no person shall
introduce into any on-site septic system any substances,
materials, waters or wastes in such quantities or
concentrations which will:
(1) Create a fire or explosion hazard, including, but
not limited to, gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or
other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas;
(2) Cause corrosive damage or hazard to structures,
equipment, personnel or the waste water facilities, but
in no case discharges with the following properties:
A. Having a ph lower than 5.0 or greater than 10.0 for
more than ten percent of the time in a twenty-four hour
period;
B. Having a ph lower than 3.5 or greater than 12.0 for
any period exceeding fifteen minutes.
These requirements may be modified for facilities
designed to accommodate greater ranges.
(3) Cause obstruction to the flow in pipes, or other
interference with the operation of waste water
facilities, due to accumulation of solid or viscous
materials.
(4) Constitute a rate of discharge or substantial
deviation from normal rates of discharge ("slug
discharge") sufficient to cause interference in the
operation and performance of the waste water facilities.
(5) Contain heat in amounts which will accelerate the
biodegradation of wastes, causing the formation of
excessive amounts of hydrogen sulfide in the waste water
system or inhibition of biological activity in the waste
water treatment facilities, but in no case shall the
discharge of heat cause the temperature in any waste
water facility to exceed fifty degrees Centigrade (150
degrees Fahrenheit) or the temperature of the influent
to the treatment facilities to exceed forty degrees
Centigrade (104 degrees Fahrenheit) unless the
facilities are designed and constructed to accommodate
such heat.
(6) Contain radioactive wastes in harmful quantities as
defined by applicable State and Federal regulations.
(7) Contain any garbage that has not been properly
shredded.
(b) If, in establishing discharge restrictions,
discharge limits or pretreatment standards for
commercial and/or industrial waste pursuant to this
section, the Village Enforcement Official establishes
concentration limits to be met by a user, the Village
Enforcement Official, in lieu of concentration limits,
shall recommend to Council the establishment of mass
limits of comparable stringency if such is requested by
the user.
(Ord. 98-44. Passed 3-16-98.)
1040.15 PROHIBITED DISCHARGES (PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEM).

Health Division.
(Ord. 99-97. Passed 11-15-99.)
1040.17 ENFORCEMENT ACTION.
The Enforcement Official shall, from time to time,
advise Council and the homeowner or owner/operator of
any on-site septic system, when the same is deemed to be
improper, malfunctioning or in a state of disrepair.
Upon such notification, the individual homeowner or
operator/owner of said system shall take steps to
repair, correct, modify or otherwise alleviate the
problem or malfunction reported. If the homeowner or
owner/operator should fail to take such steps as may be
reasonably necessary to correct such condition, then the
Village, through the Village President or his or her
designee, may order that such steps be taken, and may
take any enforcement action, in order to assure that
said system is brought to operational or performance
standards. All such repairs, corrections, modifications
or other actions as may be necessary to correct or
repair said system shall be solely at the homeowner's
expense, including design, pumping, repair or
modifications as may be necessary.
Upon determination that such repairs or modifications
are necessary, and upon refusal of the homeowner or

ordinances or regulatory powers of Council;
(3) Any operating permit under this chapter.
(c) The Enforcement Official, upon direction of Council,
shall be fully empowered to obtain such administrative
or judicial orders as may be deemed appropriate and
necessary to carry out any inspections, tests,
measurements or other determinations regarding any
system which said Enforcement Official has reasonable
grounds to believe is leaking, malfunctioning,
overloaded, plugged or otherwise posing a threat to
public health, safety and welfare.
(Ord. 98-44. Passed 3-16-98.)
1040.19 GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) The Village shall recognize, enter into and let
design and construction contracts as may be necessary to
carry out design, repairs, modifications or such other
corrective efforts as may be determined to be necessary
for those initial systems identified by the Village
Engineers and as approved by the State Department of
Environmental Quality, the Oakland County Health
Division and the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. All construction, repairs, replacements,
modifications and corrective efforts shall be
incorporated in designs prepared by the Village Engineer
and shall be let for bids in accordance with such
approved designs on an overall basis for the total work
upon all such on-site systems affected.
(b) Each homeowner or owner/operator of each such system
affected shall be assessed a pro rata share of such
design costs as shall be appli¬cable to his or her
system. Such assessment shall be payable within thirty
days of the date of such assessment in writing and
mailed by first-class mail to such property owner. Upon
failure of such property owner to pay said design
assessment within thirty days, such assessment shall

system to be included within said grant program shall be
assessed an amount equal to fifteen percent of the
estimated construction costs and construction
engineering costs for the specific on-site system to be
corrected. Such assessment shall be payable within
thirty days from the date of written notification to
said homeowner or owner/operator of said system. In the
event of nonpayment, the Enforcement Official shall
decide either:
(1) To proceed with the repair or modification work and
place a lien for the cost of the same upon the real
property upon which said system is located; or
(2) To take no further action for repair or modification
pursuant to said grant but, rather, to leave any such
repairs or modifications to subsequent enforcement
action.
(d) In no event shall any failure to pay any assessment,
whether the same shall be a lien on the property or not,
discharge, forgive or excuse any homeowner or
owner/operator of any such system from repairing,
modifying or correcting any malfunctions of said system
as may ultimately be determined by said Enforcement
Official and as may be the subject of any subsequent
enforcement action. In no event shall any
disqualification or loss of grant funding by any
homeowner or owner/ operator of any system excuse,
discharge or release said homeowner or owner/operator
from full compliance with all necessary require¬ments
for protection of public health, safety and welfare as
shall be determined by the Waste Water Management
District and by said Enforcement Official from time to
time.
