observation, sampling, and measurement or the wastes. such
manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely
located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans
approved by the Director of Public Works. The manhole
shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall
be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all

said control -manhole. 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 sewer to
the point at which the building sewer is connected.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted
methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the
sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to
life, limb, and property. The paricular analyses involved
will determine whether a twenty --four (24) hour composite of
all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether a grab
sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not
always, Bon and suspended solids analyses are obtained from
24 --hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are
determined from periodic grab samples.
K. No statement contained in this Section shall be construed
as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between
the Village of Mount Prospect and any industrial concern
whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or
character may be accepted by the Village of Mount Prospect
