(14) Noncommercial washing of vehicles; (15) Natural riparian habitat or wetland flows; (16) Dechlorinated swimming pools (for pools to be considered "dechlorinated," water must be allowed to sit seven (7) days without the addition of chlorine to allow for chlorine to evaporate before discharging in an area where drainage to streets or storm sewer systems may occur); or (17) Any other water source not containing a pollutant. § 51.25 ILLICIT CONNECTIONS. No person shall construct, use, or maintain any illicit connection to intentionally convey nonstormwater to the city's storm sewer system. This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, illicit connections made in the past regardless of whether the connection was permissible under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of connection. A person is considered to be in violation of this chapter if the person connects a line conveying sewage to the storm sewer system, or allows such a connection to continue. §§ 51.26 THROUGH 51.28 RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE. § 51.29 GENERAL PROVISIONS. All owners or occupants of property shall comply with the following general requirements: (A) Septic systems. No person shall leave, deposit, discharge, dump, or otherwise expose any chemical or septic waste in an area where discharge to streets or storm sewer system may occur. This section shall apply to both actual and potential discharges. (1) Individual septic systems must be maintained to prevent failure, which has the potential to pollute surface water. (2) No part of any individual septic system requiring on-land or in-ground disposal of waste shall be located closer than 150 feet from the ordinary high water level in the case of DNR protected waters, or the wetland boundary in the case of all other water bodies, unless it is proven by the applicant that no effluent will immediately or gradually reach the water bodies because of existing physical characteristics of the site or the system. (3) Recreational vehicle sewage shall be disposed to a proper sanitary waste facility. Waste shall not be discharged in an area where drainage to streets or storm sewer systems may occur. (B) Water runoff. Runoff of water from residential property shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Runoff of water from the washing down of paved areas in commercial or industrial property is prohibited unless necessary for health or safety purposes and not in violation of any other provisions of the city code. 49 ΋tğŭĻ
