As used in this section:

"Person, establishment or owner" means any individual, firm, company, association, society, corporation, partnership or groups, their agents, servants or employees.

"Sanitary sewer" means a sewer that conveys sewage or industrial wastes, or a combination of both, and into which storm, surface and ground waters or unpolluted industrial wastes are not intentionally passed.

"Storm water runoff" means that portion of the rainfall that is drained into the sewers.

No person shall discharge, or cause to be discharged, any storm water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, down spouts, yard drains and ponds, or lawn sprays into any sanitary sewer. Water from swimming pools, boiler drains, blow-off pipes or cooling water from various equipment, may be discharged into the sanitary sewer by an indirect connection whereby such discharge is cooled if required, and flows into the sanitary sewer at a rate not to exceed the capacity of the sanitary sewer provided the waste does not contain materials or substances in suspension or solution in violation of the limits prescribed by this chapter.
