(a) Septic/cesspool material meeting the effluent standards as established by the City (which shall not be less stringent than the standards established in the prohibitions set forth in KMC 17.25.020 above) may be discharged into the sanitary sewer system from a septic tank pumping vehicle at a location specified by the City upon the payment of a gallonage fee. The fee and quality standards are set forth below:

(1) The City of Kenai Water and Sewer Utility shall establish a holding tank for receiving bulk septic material screened and free of all non-degradable materials.

(2) Such holding tank, being limited to a total of one thousand four hundred (1,400) gallons at any given time, shall accept such septic materials Tuesday through Friday. Materials accepted shall be trickled on a continuous basis into the Plant for treatment.

(3) Bulk septic materials may be directed to the Sewer Treatment Plant (STP), Tuesdays through Fridays, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. through 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. through 4:00 p.m. Only the gallonage shall be received as the holding tank is capable of receiving.

(4) The source of the bulk septic materials must be identified by name and parcel number at the time of delivery and payment of the fee. The form must be signed by property owner.

(5) The fee per acceptance of bulk septic material shall be in accordance with rates set in the Public Utility Regulations and Rates of the City of Kenai, plus tax.

(6) Each bulk material handler must equip his equipment with discharge hose screens or other suitable devices to insure that no material larger than one quarter of an inch can be discharged into the holding tank.

(7) It shall be the delivery personnel’s responsibility to stick the tank and determine the ability to discharge safely without overflowing.

(8) The delivery personnel will pay the dumping fee and receive the go ahead from the STP operator before he starts to set up for dumping. After he has completed dumping and put away his hoses, he will check with the STP operator who will sign the permit slip, give the delivery personnel a copy, and check to make sure no spillage has occurred.

(9) If spillage has occurred, if any non-degradable material has been put into the system, or if the system has been left plugged, the delivery person shall be subject to the penalties as established by KMC 17.25.060 and/or 17.25.070 and the septic material handler may forfeit his right to discharge material in the future.

(10) The delivery personnel are to discharge septic material under the direction of the STP operators. All delivery personnel are asked to cooperate completely with the operators and failure to do so can terminate their dumping privileges.

(11) If the bulk material handler and/or the property owner forges or in any way falsifies the property owner’s septic dumping form (as required by KMC 17.25.040(a)(4)), then in that event the bulk material handler and/or property owner will lose his right to utilize the dumping facilities.

(12) The City of Kenai reserves the right to audit records of bulk septic material operators on a periodic basis.
