The Utilities Director shall designate the disposal facility to receive permitted hauled liquid waste. Disposal of hauled liquid waste at any location or site other than the designated disposal facility is prohibited. The Utilities Director also shall designate the hours of operation of the disposal facility and establish procedures by which the disposal facility may be used. Disposal of hauled liquid waste at any other time than the designated hours of operation or in violation of the established procedures of usage is prohibited.

The disposal charge for hauled liquid waste shall be calculated at a rate adjusted to the current documented waste strength. The disposal charge will be evaluated every two years thereafter and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect changes in the excess strength commercial rate charge, the current documented waste strength, and the WPCD’s percent of expenses related to treatment of the liquid waste. Such charge will be billed by the WPCD and payable on a monthly basis.

Each liquid waste load which is presented for discharge shall require the submission of a load manifest on the electronic form available on the City of Topeka’s utilities web page which contains the following information:

(a) Certification statement, date, hauler’s first and last name, business name and email address.

(b) Originating location of liquid waste.

(c) Volume of liquid waste pumped.

(d) Liquid waste characterization (i.e., industrial/domestic waste).

A manifest shall be prepared for each location where the hauler receives liquid waste. Failure to provide the manifest electronically to the WPCD for each load shall be cause to deny access to the designated disposal facility. Manifest records shall be maintained by the hauler for a period of three years. (Ord. 20157 § 3, 12-4-18.)
