§ 94-592. Structures required.

(a)

Any owner discharging industrial wastes into a sanitary sewer shall, at the direction of the department of utilities, construct a suitable sampling port or control manhole at or near the property line. The port or manhole shall intersect the common building drain line at a point downstream from the last connection to this building sewer line. If the owner has more than one sewer line containing industrial waste or a mixture of industrial and sanitary waste connected to the city-parish consolidated government's sanitary sewer, a sampling port or control manhole must be constructed on each sewer line. The city-parish consolidated government may also require the owner to add (but not limited to) the following: private lift stations, separate industrial waste lines from domestic lines, clean outs, and flow equalization tanks.

(b)

The sampling port, control manhole, flow equalizing tank, clean out, private lift station, or other device deemed necessary to be installed by the owner, shall be constructed and/or installed at the expenses of the owner who is discharging the industrial waste after the plans of the structure have been reviewed and approved by the department of utilities.

(c)

Approval of the structure subsequent to this review by the department of utilities shall not be construed as an approval of the structural integrity of the structure nor is any warranty of any kind to be implied.

(d)

It also shall be the responsibility of the owner to maintain the sampling port, control manhole, equalizing tank, clean out, private lift station, or other devices installed by the owner, in a safe and proper operating condition and accessible at all times to department of utilities personnel.
