The facility, sampling and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user. (6) Inspection of userÓs facilities.

The city, Metro Sewer Board, MPCA and EPA shall have the right to set up on the userÓs property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with any security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, the city, MPCA and EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
