Common Council adopts updated sewer-use, wastewater pretreatment ordinance to meet IDEM permit requirements (Ord. 71-83)
Summary
The Common Council of the city of Kokomo passed Ordinance 71-83 on second reading to update sewer-use and wastewater pretreatment rules to maintain compliance with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and federal requirements; councilmember Davis moved the measure and it passed by unanimous voice vote.
The Common Council of the city of Kokomo passed Ordinance 71-83 on second reading, updating the city's sewer-use and wastewater pretreatment ordinance to align with requirements from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and federal law.
Councilman Davis said the ordinance updates "the comprehensive regulations for the discharge of wastewater into the publicly owned treatment works and ensure compliance with state and federal environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act." He told the council the change is considered a non-substantial modification required to keep the city's current permit with IDEM and that the new ordinance "consists of over a 100 pages." He moved for passage on second reading, and the motion was seconded. The council approved the ordinance by voice vote; the clerk recorded "aye," and the president announced, "Motion carries."
Council members did not request further amendments during the meeting. The ordinance replaces language in Ordinance 66-19 as amended and updates indexing, arrangement and certain technical standards to match IDEM and related federal program requirements, including National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System coordination, according to Davis's remarks.
The council did not state an immediate effective date during the meeting; the ordinance text and full compilation are posted on the city's website as referenced by the council.
