Each user must provide and operate at its own expense a monitoring facility to allow inspection, sampling and flow measurements of each sewer discharge to the city. Each monitoring facility must be situated on the user's premises, except where such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the city may concur with the facility being constructed in the public street or sidewalk area; provided, that the facility is located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. The superintendent, whenever applicable, may require the construction and maintenance of sampling facilities at other locations (for example, at the end of a manufacturing line, wastewater treatment system).
There must be ample room in or near such sampling facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling and measuring equipment must be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the discharger.
All monitoring facilities will be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable local construction standards and specifications.
The superintendent may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment will 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 must be calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
All new commercial and industrial facilities constructed after September 1, 1993, are required to have installed a sewer service cleanout to facilitate wastewater pretreatment sampling. (Ord. 3374 §2, 2010)
