and/or delay inflow contribution to the combined sewer system.

overflow".
8-19-29 (c) MONITORING CSO's: CSO impacts from non-domestic sources shall

tributary to CSO's and reviewing, and, if necessary, modifying the sewer
use ordinance to control pollutants in these discharges.

systems with combined sewers tributary to the City of Canton's collection
