§ 17-85. Measurements, tests and analyses.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this division shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods" and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb, and property.

    (b)

    All industries discharging into a public sewer shall perform such monitoring of their discharge as the sewer authority and/or other duty authorized employees of the city may reasonably require, including purchase, installation, use and maintenance of monitoring equipment, keeping records and reporting results of such monitoring to the sewer authority. Such records shall be made available upon request by the sewer authority to other agencies having jurisdiction over discharges to the receiving waters.
