kx:.-etion J. I)ku-claration of Policy It is the policy of the City of Woodburn
to provide adequate sewerage facilities for the transportation,
treatment and dis7oosal of wastes from within the City and to
operate the sewerage systems in a a-rc-inner which protects public
health and the environment. In carrying out this policy, the
objectives of this ordinance are:
a. . Preclude rx)llutants fi.b(.xn enter.ing the sewerafre systems which
will interfere with noimial operations or contaminate the result-
ing sludge or effluent;
b. Preclude the introduction of rx-A.1utants into the sewerage
systems which may not be adequately treated and may pass throut),rh
into the environment;
c. To enhance the opportunity for recycling and reclamation of
wastewater and sludge. It is the intent of the City to provide
needed sewerage, services to industry while meeting the outlined
objectives. This ordinance provides the s-It-l-ructure under which
the service will be provided for industrial waste so that the
systems are protected and can continue to provide efficiently
for the waste treatment and disposal needed of the City.
