The Joint Sewer Authority shall have the right to enter the premises of any user, without notice, to determine whether the user is complying with all requirements of this Ordinance and any wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the Joint Sewer Authority 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. User water use may be relied upon if discharge monitoring data is not available.
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 Joint Sewer Authority will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
B. 
The Joint Sewer Authority 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. 
The Joint Sewer Authority may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling, and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the user at its own expense. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
D. 
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 Joint Sewer Authority and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be born by the user.
E. 
Unreasonable delays in allowing the Joint Sewer Authority access to the user's premises shall be a violation of this Ordinance.
F. 
When it would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user to situate the monitoring facility on the user's premises, the municipality may 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 preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper condition at the expense of the user.
If the Joint Sewer Authority has been refused access to a building, structure, or property, or any part thereof by a user, and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Ordinance, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the Joint Sewer Authority designed to verify compliance with this Ordinance or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, then the Joint Sewer Authority may seek issuance of a search warrant from the District Justice in whose jurisdiction the property is situate.
