(A) The city may require to be provided and operated at the user’s expense monitoring facilities to allow inspection, sampling and flow measurements of the building sewer and/or internal drainage systems. When required by the control authority, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install at the owner’s expense a locked manhole in the building sewer. Only the city shall have keys to the locked manhole.
(B) A charge to be determined by the control authority shall be required of the owner each time the locked manhole is opened by the city.
(C) The monitoring facility shall be situated on the user’s premises; but the city may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public right-of-way and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.
(D) There shall be ample room in or near such sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user.
(E) Whether constructed on public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided in accordance with the city’s requirements and all applicable local construction standards and specifications. Construction shall be completed within 90 days following written notification by the city.
