Users shall allow the city manager ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspecting, sampling, examining and copying records, and performing of any additional duties.
(B) Where a user has security measures in force that require proper identification and clearance before entry into user's premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with user's security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the city manager will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
(C) The city manager shall have the right to set up on the user's property, or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and/or metering of the user's operation.
(D) The city manager may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the user at user's sole expense. All devices used to measure wastewater flow shall be electronically calibrated at least every six months and hydraulically calibrated at least every five years to ensure their accuracy.
(E) Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal request of the city manager and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
(F) Refusal of access or unreasonable delays in allowing the city manager access to the user's premises shall be a violation of this article. The city manager may give notice of inspections at the city managers discretion, but unannounced inspections are an important part of the city's enforcement program, and users shall have no right to advance notice of any city inspections.
