  1.  Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius).

  4.  Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. Garbage grinders may be connected to municipal sewer system from homes, hotels, institutions, restaurants, hospitals, catering establishments, or similar places where garbage originates from the preparation of food in kitchens for the purpose of consumption on the premises or when served by caterers.
  5.  Any waters or wastes containing aluminum, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium, silver, chromium, zinc, and similar objectionable or toxic substances.

  10.  Any water or wastes which, by interaction with other water or wastes in the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases, form suspended solids which interfere with the collection system or create a condition deleterious to structures and treatment processes.
  11.  No person in the business of gathering and disposing of septic tank or hauled wastes shall transfer such material into any disposal area or sewer manhole located within the village areas.
  12. Wastewater which contains organo-sulfur or organo-phosphate pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
