Article VI. Compliance Monitoring
14.40.510 Inspection and sampling.
Continued connection and use of the Everett municipal sewer system shall be contingent on the right of the city to inspect and sample all discharges into the system. The city shall have the right to enter the facilities of any user for the purpose of the enforcement of this chapter and Ordinance 1506-88, as amended, and to determine that any wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder is being met and whether the user is complying with all requirements thereof. Users shall allow the director ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying, and the performance of any additional duties.
A. Where a user has security measures in force which require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the director will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
B. The director shall have the right to set up on the user’s property, or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and/or metering of the user’s operations.
C. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal request of the director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
D. Unreasonable delays in allowing the director access to the user’s premises shall be a violation of this chapter. (Ord. 3070-08 § 6.1, 2008.)
