The city may inspect the facilities of any discharger to ascertain whether the purpose of this chapter is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Owners and/or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow city representatives ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection or sampling or in the performance of any of their duties. The city shall have the right to set up on the discharger's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling or metering operations. Where a discharger has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the discharger shall make necessary arrangements with security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the city shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
