§ 42-254. Testing procedures.

(a)

All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this section shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole.

(b)

In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public wastewater system to the point which said charge or rental shall be determined at which the building is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the wastewater system and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analyses involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite of all outfalls of the premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples shall be taken.) All testing shall be done by a laboratory approved by the city and the cost of this testing shall be borne by the owner.
