pipe shall be supported in place by sewer rock, 1-inch sieve
minimum. No tunneling shall be allowed except where absolutely
necessary and then only by permission of the Public Utilities
Director. All gas and water pipes and other conduits encountered

deemed absolutely necessary, upon payment of a fee to cover the
cost of the work.
Sec. 37-4-17. Fee for replacing damaged "wye" connection.
In case the "wye" connection to the sewer main is broken off or
damaged so that it must be replaced, due to the negligence or
carelessness of a plumber or sewer contractor either in the
process of excavation for the building sewer or in removing the
plug placed in the "wye" during construction of the sewer main,
the installing of a new "wye" will be made by the Department of
Public Utilities upon payment of a fee to cover the cost of the
work.
* * *
Sec. 37-5-4. Charges combined and billed with water service
charges. Said sewer charges shall be combined for billing
purposes with charges for water service rendered by the city
Department of Public Utilities. If said sewage charges are not

ing, sampling and testing the sanitary sewer system on said pre-
mises and the sewage contained in or discharged through the same.
In the event a duly authorized officer or agent of Salt Lake
City is refused admission for any purpose, the Public Utilities
Director may cause sewer service to the premises in question
to be discontinued until the city officers and agents have been
afforded reasonable access to the premises and sewer system to
accomplish the aforesaid purposes.
* * *
Sec. 37-5-9. Measurement of flow, The volume of flow used
for computing waste water charges and surcharges shall be the
metered water consumption as shown in the records of said city
water department:
(a) If a person discharging waste water into the public
sewers procures any part, or all, of this water from sources
other than the city water department, all or part of which is
discharged into the city sewer, said person shall install and
maintain at his expense, water meters of a type approved by
the Public Utilities Director for the purpose of determining
the volume of water obtained from thee other sources. Such
person shall notify the city water department of such installa-
tion within 30 days of the enactment hereof and/or installation
and grant city access thereto for reading.
(b) As an alternative to the above-outlined method of deter-
mining charges, when good cause is shown by the person that the
above outlined method would cause an unreasonable burden and
written authorization iS obtained from the Public Utilities
Director, such person may use one of the two following methods as
a means of measuring the flow of sewage in order to compute a
sanitary sewer service charge:
(1) The person may install, at his own expense, a meter
of a type approved by the Public Utilities Director, for the
purpose of measuring the flow of waste water into the sanitary
sewer. The sanitary sewer service charge, designated under
section 37-5-3(b) hereof, shall then be based upon the rate
of waste water flowing into the city sewer.
(2) The city shall estimate the waste water flow, by tak-
ing separate flow readings from time to time during the year
in a manner, which in the opinion of the Public Utilities
Director, is representative of the waste water flow that
the person discharges into the sanitary sewer, or by other
means calculated to determine waste water flow. The city shall
then be empowered to apply the appropriate sewer service
charge. The person would also be liable for any expense
incurred by the city in preparing each estimate, and for
sewer charges based thereon for the period during which such
determination is being made.
* * *
Sec. 37-6-1. Submission of basic data.
(a) Each person desiring to make a new connection to a public
sewer for the purpose of discharging industrial wastes shall
-8-
prepare and file with the Public Utilities Director a report
that shall include actual and predicted data relating to the
quantity and characteristics of the waste to be charged.
(b) All persons discharging industrial wastes into the public
sewers which, in the opinion of the Public Utilities Director,
exceed the concentrations of BOD and suspended solids as defined
in section 37-5-10, et seq., shall, upon receipt of notice or order
from the Public Utilities Director concerning the industrial
wastes of the person concerned,, comply with said notice or order
from the Public Utilities Director concerning the industrial
wastes of the person concerned,, comply with said notice or order
within the time specified in the notice or order and submit such
verifying data to the Public Utilities Director'as he requires.
Sec. 37-6-3. Waste water sampling.
(a) Industrial wastes discharged into the public sewers
shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Public Utilities
Director or his authorized representative, and a determination
made of the character and concentration of said wastes. Such
samples shall be collected in a manner to be representative
of the composition of said wastes.
(b) In the event the person having had his said wastes inspect-
ed disagrees with or challenges the result of said inspection,
he may request a second inspection by the city, at his sole ex-
pense, or request an inspection, at his sole expense, by an
independent laboratory acceptable to the Public Utilities Director.
If there remains any substantial difference between the two
inspections, either party may request an inspection by the
City-County or the Utah State Board of Health which inspection
and result shall be conclusive.
* * *
Sec, 37-7-1. Enforcement. The Public Utilities Director may
adopt procedures and rules for the implementation and adminis-
tration of and shall enforce the provisions of this ordinance.
Sec. 37-7-2. Appeal procedure. Any person receiving sewer
service or discharging into any city sewer or any other person
affected by any decision, action of determination, including
cease and desist orders made by the Public Utilities Director
in interpreting or implementing the provisions of this ordinance,
may file with the Public Utilities Director a written request
for reconsideration within 10 days of such decision setting
forth in detail the facts supporting the request. The request
for reconsideration shall be acted upon by the Public Utilities
Director within 10 days from the date of filing. Said decision,
action or determination shall be stayed during such period of
review by the Public Utilities Director. In the event that
the Public Utilities Director's final decision is unsatisfactory
to the person requesting reconsideration, said person may, within
10 days after notice of the final action by the Public Utilities
Director, file with the city recorder a written appeal and re-
quest that a hearing date be given in order to have the matter
heard by the Board of City Commissioners whose decision shall
be final.
* * *
Sec. 37-8-1. Damage to facilities. When a person's discharge
or content of waste water causes an obstruction or damage to the
city sewer system, the Public Utilities Director shall assess
a charge for the work required to clean or repair the facility,
and such charge shall be added to said person's sanitary sewer
service charges.
