Upon a lawful request and consent of the owner, or in accordance with a judicial order, the Enforcement Officer may inspect all parts of a premises for the purpose of inspection or sampling or in the performance of any of their duties. In such circumstance, the Village shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling or metering operations. The Village may at reasonable times have access to and copy any records, inspect any monitoring equipment, or method required by the Village's wastewater discharge laws and sample any effluents which the owner or operator of such source is required to sample. Where a user has security measures in force, the user shall make necessary arrangements with their security guards (systems) so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the Village will be permitted to enter without delay, in accordance with the owners' consent or a judicial order.
The Enforcement Officer or any other duly authorized employee is authorized to obtain information concerning commercial and industrial processes which have a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the wastewater collection system. The owner of the property or the operator of the commercial or industrial business may withhold information considered confidential, provided the owner or operator can establish that the revelation to the public of the information in question might result in an advantage to competitors.
The Enforcement Officer and other duly authorized employees of the Village bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter all private properties through which the Village holds a duly negotiated easement for the purposes of, but not limited to, inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, repair, and maintenance of any portion of the wastewater facilities lying within said easement. All entry and subsequent work, if any, on said easement, shall be done in full accordance with the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining to the private property involved.
Whenever a condition exists in and upon any property in the Village which violates any of the provisions of this chapter in such manner as to cause harm to the health and safety of the community and the owner or occupant thereof does not cure such condition within a reasonable time as determined by the Enforcement Officer, the Enforcement Officer may cause such conditions to be cured and the cost thereof shall be the responsibility of the property owner. If such cost is not paid when due, it shall be added to the tax bill for such property.
