explanation
Background:
Federal and State Law requires the City of Gainesville to operate and enforce a pretreatment program with the objective of preventing discharges that may cause interference or harm to wastewater treatment facilities. Gainesville Regional Utilities is responsible for implementing this program under the authority of Chapter 27, Article IV, Sections 27-180 through 182 and Sections 184 through 186 of the Gainesville Code of Ordinances. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has been delegated the authority by the United Sates Environmental Protection Agency to administer pretreatment program requirements. At this time, revisions are necessary to maintain program approval by the FDEP.
