§ 51.23  DETERMINATION OF CHARACTER AND STRENGTH OF WASTES.
   (A)   The industrial waste and/or other pollutants being discharged by any person into the sanitary sewerage system shall be subject to periodic inspection. A determination of character and strength of said wastes may be made annually or more often as may be deemed necessary by the Mayor or his or her authorized assistants.
   (B)   Samples shall be collected manually or mechanically over such period of time and composited in such a manner as to be representative of the wastes being discharged. The laboratory methods followed in the examination of said wastes shall be those as set forth in the latest edition of Standard Methods as defined in § 51.01.
   (C)   The determination of the character, strength or quantity of the wastes as made by the Mayor, or his or her authorized assistants, shall be binding as a basis for computation of charges or for actions by the Town Board of Commissioners. When requested by the person discharging, the samples may be split to permit analysis by the discharger or a qualified independent laboratory for the discharger’s information. The person discharging wastes may request additional sampling and analyses which will be performed, as soon as practical, with all costs, as determined by the town, being borne by the discharger.
