B. The public works director shall have the right to set up on the user’s property, or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and/or metering of the user’s operations.

The facility’s sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the user at its own expense. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy, according to the frequency required in the user’s permit.

D. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal request of the public works director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.

E. Unreasonable delays in allowing the public works director access to the user’s premises shall be a violation of this chapter.

F. The aforesaid officers and their authorized agents shall have the right of entry, during usual business hours, and at any time when, upon reasonable cause, they believe there is an immediate hazard to life, health, or property, to inspect any and all buildings and premises in the performance of their duties. The aforesaid officers and their authorized agents shall have the right to take independent samples of any discharge from any industrial user to determine compliance with this chapter.
