The owner and/or operator <br /> of interceptor equipment shall be required to maintain certified <br /> records as to time and date of cleaning and inspection. <br /> (f) When a discharger is required to provide preliminary <br /> treatment, including interceptors or flow equalization facilities, <br /> such equipment shall be maintained by the discharger in satisfactory <br /> operating condition as determined by the Board of Public Works or <br /> its designee. <br /> (g) When required by the Director, the owner or any property <br /> serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall <br />
