Inspectors or authorized employees of the town whose duty it may be to enter upon private premises to examine meters, pipes, grease traps or other fixtures used in the town's water and/or wastewater service or for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling or testing of the water and/or wastewater characteristics shall have free access at all reasonable hours to all parts of such premises for the purpose of inspection, meter reading, sampling, testing, monitoring, examination of fixtures and observation of the manner in which water is used and/or discharged. In case any authorized town representative is refused admittance to any premises for any such purpose or is hindered or prevented from making such examination or monitoring, the water shall be turned off and shall not be turned on again until free access is given. Any person completing and filing an application to discharge wastewater shall thereby grant the town permission to enter his premises for such purposes. Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with their security guards so that upon presentation of identification, personnel from the town shall be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
