(A) A major contributor shall install, at its own expense, a suitable control manhole or other access means, together with any necessary appurtenances in or on each building lateral sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastewater, and any sampling devices as may be reasonably necessary, all unless otherwise instructed by the city. A user may be required by the city to install the manholes or other access means to verify his or her status as a major contributor or otherwise. The manholes or other access means and sampling and testing devices shall be constructed and maintained to the city's satisfaction at the expense of the user. The city shall have the right of access to the manhole and sampling and testing devices at all times in order to verify the accuracy of the equipment and obtain samples.
(B) The city may provide monitoring equipment during a surveillance period for control manholes or other access means.
(C) Monitoring equipment shall, unless otherwise specified by the city, include a device for automatically measuring flow and a device for automatically taking a composite sample of wastewater during a 24-hour period. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require sewer access or sampling equipment for lateral sewers of facilities in which no industrial wastes are generated or disposed of in the sewerage system.
