Black and White

It should be as simple as black and white ( but it does'nt seem so )


this is a earlier post I made:
I have a question about being compliant in Houston and Dallas is the enforcement the same
If I'm legal in Houston wouldn't it be the same in Dallas/fort worth
Honestly my biggest problem is knowing exactly the requirements as far as reclaim and proper discharge hauling of waste water .
by the way I have been to city of Houston about compliance and have talked to code enforcement and district attorneys office
and the health department clearly know one knows for sure what they will enforce.
For example I was told by city If I use cold water ( I have a landa 5gpm hot water} and I use no chemicals
it is okay for sanitary sewer...however I have drawn sharp responses from other' s on bbs nothing can go sanitary period
So here's the deal I clean grocery stores and fast food and other commercial etc.
Do you have a filtration system that you sell that will make it legal to put down sanitary sewer for both Dallas/Houston So I can be compliant (without any ambiguity) Thanks David

if the clean water act is what cities are enforcing it should be the same
what I'm thinking wouldnt be great if a Presure washer disrtibutor knew exactly what was the basic system that would pass in any city ...in any state... (especially dallas /houston)
I would be more inclined to buy from that person who said there system is/was compliant...
basically I'm asking dist/wholesaler to do all the work clarifing what is llegal (just kidding)
just an idea

Problem is there is no one unit fits all. The Clean Water Act is federal and covers water that would enter into a US body of water, such as a lake, stream, and the ocean.
The Clean Water Act does not cover Sanitary sewers, they fall into City and County Control, and each place has their own rules depending on the type of system they run. The City and County can add to Federal Law, but can not take away from it. So while the CWA says no water in the Storm Drain and you dam and collect in the gutter, the City can say no water in the Storm Water Conveyance System and you will not be able to let your water go in the gutter for easy collection.
