[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
The Township shall have the right to enter the premises of any user to determine whether the user is complying with all requirements of this Part, and any permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the Township 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.
(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 Township will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
(b) 
The Township 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 Township 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 quarterly to ensure their accuracy and certificates of calibration shall be sent to the Township.
(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 Township and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
(e) 
Unreasonable delays in allowing the Township access to the user's premises shall be a violation of this Part.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
If the Township has been refused access to a building, structure, or property, or any part thereof, and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Part, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the Township designed to verify compliance with this Part or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety, and welfare of the community, then the Township may seek issuance of a search and/or seizure warrant from the Berks County Court.
