(A) All users required to obtain an IWD permit shall furnish, install and properly maintain a monitoring facility for wastewater sampling. This monitoring facility shall be of a design or configuration approved by the city manager, who may require flow measurement equipment, automatic flow proportional sampling equipment and automatic wastewater analysis and data recording equipment.
(B) Each user, as a part of its application for obtaining an IWD permit, shall propose a suitable location and design for the wastewater monitoring facility. Upon approval of the monitoring facility by the city manager, the user shall perform wastewater monitoring at this facility. The monitoring facility shall be located so as to be safe and accessible to city employees, and shall be constructed in accordance with the city's requirements, and all applicable local building codes and other local construction requirements. The user's proposal for a wastewater monitoring facility shall comply with the city's design requirements and shall be reviewed and approved by the city manager. Plans for all wastewater monitoring facilities, including flow measurement and sampling systems, determined by the city manager to require engineering design, shall be prepared and signed by a civil, chemical or mechanical engineer registered in the State or a registered engineer of other suitable discipline as determined by the city manager.
(C) The user's wastewater sampling analysis and flow measurement procedures, equipment, and results shall be subject to inspection by the city manager at any time. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times by the user.
(D) Failure of a user to keep approved wastewater monitoring facilities clean and in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that any sample results are unrepresentative of the user's wastewater. Flow measurement systems shall be regularly maintained and calibrated in accordance with guidelines established by the city manager.
