The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the user at its own expense. All devises used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated as per each permit issued to ensure their accuracy. (5) Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal request of the County Administrator and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be born by the user. (6) Unreasonable delays in allowing the County Administrator access shall be a violation of this Ordinance. (B) Search Warrants. If the County Administrator has been refused access to a building, structure, or property, or any part thereof, and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Ordinance, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the County designed to verify compliance with this Ordinance or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, then the County Administrator may seek issuance of a search warrant, or, where applicable, an inspection warrant, all pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 933, Search And Inspection Warrants SECTION 23.
