j) ~here preliminary treatment of flow-equalizing facilities are pro- vided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continu- ously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense. k) Monitoring facilities to allow inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of the building sewer and/or internal drainage sys- tems shall be provided and operated by all significant indus- trial users or other industrial user ~which may have a significant effect .as determined by the City Engineer. The monitoring facility should normally be situated on the user's premises, but the City Engineer may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. There shall be ample room in or near such sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and compositing of samples for analysis. 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. Whether constructed on public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided in accordance with the City Engineer's requirements and all applicable local construction standards and specifications. Construction shall be completed within ninety (90) days following written notification by the City Engineer unless a time extension is otherwise granted by the City Engineer. 1) Ail measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in the ordinance shall be deter- mined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," published by the American Public Health Association, 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 wastewater disposal system and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will determine whether twenty-four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are ob- tained from 24-hour composites of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples. m) No statement contained in this article shall be construed as prevent- ing any special agreement or arrangement between the City of Lakewood and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the City of Lakewood for treatment, subject to payment therefore, by the industrial concern provided that any such discharges do not violate prohibitions con- cerning specific substances contained in Sections 913.06(a) through (1) above. Section 913.07: PROTECTION FROM DAMAGE a) It shall be unlawful for any unauthorized person to maliciously, willfully, or negligently break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structures, appurtenance, or equipment which is part of the wastewater disposal system.
