Users or customers shall allow the town ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying, and the performance of any additional duties.
(B) (1) Where a user or customer has security measures in force which require proper identification and clearance before entry onto its premises, the user or customer shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the town will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.

Calibration records shall be made available to the town upon request.
