A. The city has the right of inspection of the facilities of any user to ascertain whether or not the objectives of this chapter are being met and all standards and requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is generated or discharged, or where hazardous substances or hazardous wastes are present, shall allow the city or their representative ready access at all reasonable times of day or night, upon reasonable notice to all parts of the premises for the purpose of inspection, sampling, analysis, records examination and copying, or the review of any of their duties. The city, or its authorized representative, accompanied by such other representatives of other public agencies as may be appropriate, shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling inspection, compliance, monitoring, and/or metering operations. Where a security system is in force, the user shall make necessary arrangements, permit from the city along with other authorized representatives, on the premises, without delay, for the purpose of performing their responsibilities.
B. Such inspections shall be made with the consent of the owner or possessor of such facilities or if such consent is refused, with a warrant duly issued, provided however, that in the event of an emergency affecting public health or safety, such inspections may be made without consent or the issuance of a warrant. To the extent that the owner or the possessor of the premises requires that a warrant be received, the city may, in its discretion, suspend the permit and or any other right to discharge to sanitary facilities immediately, and such suspension may continue until such time as a warrant has been received and the inspection has been completed. (Ord. 01-102 § 2(part), 2001).
