Industrial Pretreatment Some business categories are required to participate in Dublin San Ramon Services District's Pretreatment Program to prevent the discharge of prohibited waste.
Waste Haulers DSRSD accepts septage waste from licensed waste haulers at the Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility daily between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Waste haulers must obtain an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit in advance from DSRSD.
Food Services DSRSD staff visit restaurants and other food service facilities annually to inspect grease traps and interceptors. This equipment prevents fats, oil, and grease from building up in pipes, pumps, and equipment.
Dental Offices To reduce the amount of mercury entering the wastewater system, dental practices that place or remove mercury amalgam fillings are required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit and implement mercury reduction best management practices.
Auto Facilities Wastewater from vehicle service facilities can contain metals such as copper, lead and zinc, as well as organic pollutants from solvents. DSRSD conducts inspections at vehicle service and wash facilities every other year to verify compliance with the District Code.
Plumbers Copper is a pollutant that is acutely toxic to plankton and upsets the natural balance of other species in San Francisco Bay. The District asks plumbers and plumbing designers to follow best practices that reduce corrosion of copper water pipes.
