Duly authorized employees of the Town bearing
proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter
upon all properties for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement,
sampling and testing in accordance with the provisions of this Part
1. The Superintendent or his representative shall have no authority
to inquire into any processes, including metallurgical, chemical,
oil, refining, ceramic, paper or other industries beyond that point
having a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the
sewers or waterways or facilities for waste treatment.
While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in § 172-38, the Superintendent or duly authorized employees of the Town shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the company and the company shall be held harmless for injury or death to the Town employees and the Town shall indemnify the company against liability claims or demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and arising out of or from the gauging and sampling operation and procedure as set forth in § 172-38, except as such as may be caused by the negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions, including any violation of any state or federal law or regulation.
The Superintendent and other duly authorized
employees of the Town bearing proper credentials and identification
shall be permitted to enter all private properties through which the
Town holds a duly negotiated easement for the purpose 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 performed in full accordance with the terms of said
easement pertaining to the private property involved.
The Superintendent or other duly authorized
employees are authorized to obtain information concerning industrial
processes which have a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge
to the wastewater collection system. The industry may withhold information
considered confidential; however, such industry must establish that
the revelation to the public of the information in question might
result in an advantage to a competitor or the disclosure of trade
secrets.
