The owner or operator of an FSE shall:
1. Provide, operate and maintain, at its expense, safe and accessible monitoring facilities (such as a suitable manhole), and shall make such monitoring facilities available for inspection, for routine cleanouts by the owner or operator’s licensed grease hauler, and for sampling and flow measurement of the building sewer or internal drainage systems. There shall be ample room in or near such monitoring facility to allow for proper inspection, accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The monitoring facilities shall be maintained such that the device(s) is readily and immediately accessible for inspections and cleanouts being free of coverings, building materials, pavements, or any other obstructions.
2. Allow personnel authorized by the WRA director or by the City Building Official or designee, bearing proper credentials and identification, to enter upon or into any building, facility or property housing an FSE at any reasonable time and without prior notification, for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, testing or record review, in accordance with this division.
3. Upon request by the WRA director’s authorized representative, open any grease interceptor or grease trap for the purpose of confirming that maintenance frequency is appropriate, that all necessary parts of the installation are in place including, but not limited to, baffles, and effluent tees, and that all grease interceptors, traps, and related equipment and piping is maintained in efficient operating condition.
4. Accommodate compliance inspections and sampling events by the authorized representatives of the WRA director or of the City Building Official. Staff may conduct routine inspections and sampling events of any food service establishment. Non-routine inspection and sampling events shall occur more frequently when there is a history of non-compliance with this division and when blockages occur in the City's sanitary sewer system downstream of the FSE.
