All work done under the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to inspection by and shall meet the approval of the director; provided, however, that approval by the director shall not relieve the permittee or any other person from fully complying with all of the applicable provisions of Chapter 15.20 of this code and no provision of this chapter supersedes, affects or modifies in any way the provisions of Chapter 15.20 or any revision thereof or any ordinance which may hereafter be enacted regulating plumbing within the city. No facility constructed, altered or otherwise accomplished under the provisions of this chapter shall be used or placed in service by the permittee until the final approval and acceptance thereof by the director has been obtained in writing. At any time during the progress of the work, however, the director may, upon written notice to the permittee, take over and open to the public use the whole or part of any sewer or appurtenance thereto which has been substantially completed. Such use shall constitute a limited acceptance of that part of the work so taken over and utilized which shall relieve the permittee from responsibility for any damage to that part of the work which may be caused by the use of such part by the public. Such utilization, however, shall not relieve the permittee from responsibility for any defect, omission or faulty work, or for any damage caused by his or her subsequent operations at the site.
(Prior code § 68.156)
All materials used in any work done under provisions of this chapter shall be new first-class material and shall conform to and the manner of construction shall meet, all the requirements prescribed by the "San Diego Area Regional Standard Drawings" and the "Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction" referred to in Section 13.12.200, and any amendments thereto approved and adopted by the city council and filed in the office of the city clerk.
(Prior code § 68.157)
The director may inspect as often as he or she deems necessary

waste pretreatment plant to ascertain whether such facilities are
maintained and operated in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter. All persons shall permit the director to have access to all
such facilities at all reasonable times.
(Prior code § 68.158)
