Every wastewater utility should have a ___ ___ ordinance, that places restrictions on waste discharges to the collection system.

• A. Sewer Use
• B. Industrial Discharge
• C. Wastewater Management
• D. Sewer Use Ordinance

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that local systems control what can enter the sewer through a Sewer Use Ordinance. This ordinance sets the rules for all users—what discharges are allowed or prohibited, how discharges are permitted or monitored, and the penalties for violations. It’s the legal framework that protects the sewer collection system and treatment plant from harmful or excessive wastes.

The two-word fill you’re looking for is "Sewer Use" because the full phrase is Sewer Use Ordinance. That naming convention is standard for the ordinance that places restrictions on waste discharges to the collection system. Other options don’t fit because they describe a type of discharge or a broader, less precise term rather than the specific legal framework that governs sewer discharges.
