Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the city ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, testing, record examination or in the performance of any of their duties, with the restriction that the city does not interfere with the user's operation.
