Sec. 17-157. - Determination of type of sewer.

(a)

If the proceedings for the layout and construction of any particular sewer or for its acquisition by the city did not indicate what kind of sewer or drain it was to be or what wastes could or could not be discharged therein, the director of public works shall consider the pertinent facts and shall determine what kind of sewer or drain the sewer is to be considered for the application of the provisions of this article and what waste or wastewaters shall be permitted to be discharged thereinto or be excluded therefrom.

(b)

If wastes other than those for the conveyance of which a particular sewer was originally intended have been, at any time, discharged thereinto or conveyed thereby, that shall not constitute any amendment of the originally and formally expressed intended use for the sewer, unless the original designation shall have been amended by competent municipal authority.
