ORDINANCE NO. 2013-24 IN AMENDMENT OF TITLE 13 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CRANSTON, 2005, ENTITLED “PUBLIC SERVICES”
(Sewer Service System and Private Wastewater Disposal)
*As amended in Public Works
Committee July 1, 2013
Passed: July 22, 2013
Approved: July 23, 2013
This Ordinance amended Title 13.08 of Code of the City of Cranston, 2005, entitled “Public Services” (Sewer Service System) and Title 13.12 entitled “Wastewater Disposal Services” by deleting the existing chapters in its entirety.
The Ordinance as adopted modifies and sets what are known as Local Limits. This will allow the City of Cranston to control and limit the discharge of sewage by Industrial Users to our sewerage collection and treatment systems. This will help the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) meet its regulated discharge requirements, and not allow it to be overwhelmed by pollutant loadings that are beyond the removal capabilities of the WPCF. The pollutants of concern have been identified and the allowable loadings to the WPCF that will meet these goals were determined. The allowable pollutant loadings were then distributed amongst various Industrial Users with the goal of causing minimal inconvenience while still protecting WPCF operation, and maintaining ability to meet permit discharge requirements.”

• 13.08.040 Definitions – Changed CBOD to CBOD5
• 13.080260 (B) 8 (c) – Changed CBOD to CBOD5
