Whenever required by the director, a discharger shall provide, maintain and operate, at the discharger’s own expense, a monitoring facility to allow inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of all discharges into the sewer system, as required by the city to assure compliance with this chapter. Each monitoring facility shall be situated on the discharger’s premises, except that if such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the discharger, the city may allow such facility to be constructed in an accessible public street or sidewalk area, located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.

There shall be ample room in or near such sampling facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis by the discharger and the city. The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the discharger.

All monitoring facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable construction standards and specifications. Construction of monitoring facilities for existing dischargers shall be completed within 180 days of receipt of notice to do so by the director. Construction of monitoring facilities shall be completed by a new discharger prior to discharging wastewater into the POTW. (Ord. 3220 § 2, 2016; Ord. 2742 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1705, 1989)
