A. Any user notified by the Department or the city of Monroe that monitoring facilities are required shall provide and operate at its own expense a monitoring facility to allow proper inspection, sampling, and flow measurements of each sewer discharge to the POTW. Monitoring facilities shall be situated on the user’s premises, unless this would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user. In such cases, the city of Monroe may allow the user to construct the facility in the public street or sidewalk area, providing it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.

B. When the director or the Department determines it is appropriate, they may require a user to construct and maintain monitoring facilities at other locations (for example, at the end of a manufacturing line or wastewater treatment system).

C. There shall be ample room in or near such monitoring facilities to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The user shall maintain the facility, sampling, and measuring equipment at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at their own expense.

D. All wastewater monitoring facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable construction standards and specifications. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be regularly calibrated, but no less frequently than annually, to ensure their accuracy. Calibration records shall be available for inspection of the director. (Ord. 016/2021 § 2; Ord. 011/2004)
