Section 13.03A.0602 Monitoring Facilities [6.2]
  1. Each user must provide and operate at its own expense and liability a good and sufficient monitoring facility to allow inspections, sampling, and flow measurement of all discharges to the POTW or for other needs identified by the Plant Manager. The monitoring facility must be located on the user’s premises unless otherwise authorized by the Plant Manager. No facilities may be located in the public right-of-way without permission of the Plant Manager and the City’s director of public works. All such facilities must further comply with all City right-of-way obstruction and use permitting requirements and such authorization is subject to revocation at any time. In addition, as a condition of location in the right-of-way, a user must participate in the one-call underground locator requirements consistent with applicable provisions of chapter 19.122 RCW and must fully indemnify and hold harmless the City from all loss or liability connected with right-of-way use. A user must move its facilities at its expense and liability whenever requested by the City director of public works and utilities because of other municipal needs.
  1. A User must always maintain adequate space for sampling access. The monitoring facility and any sampling or measuring equipment must be well maintained by the user at all times. All devices used to measure wastewater flows and quality must be properly calibrated to ensure accuracy, with records of such calibration maintained by the user.
  1. The Plant Manager may require the user to install additional monitoring facilities and equipment as deemed necessary. All monitoring facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable local construction standards and specifications. In default of user action, the City may proceed to accomplish any requirements and the cost thereof will be added to the user’s utility bill if unpaid.
