t Ordinance No. , Page 2. event that the discharger desires to determine accurate values of BOD and suspended solids, the discharger shall install at his expense a sampling point at a location near the outlet of each building drain or connection with any sanitary sewer of the City. BOD and suspended solid values determined from samples collected from any establishment shall be determined by the Approving Authority or a Regis- tered Professional Engineer employed by the discharger. Such report shall contain a statement that the samples collected and values determined are based on a 24-hour composite representative of the establishment's flow.
