§ 225.450. Right of entry.  


Latest version.
  • Liquid waste haulers, under the direction of the chief of police, the environmental health division, the director of inspections, the director of public works, or their authorized representatives, may enter upon any premises between sunrise and sunset for the purpose of examining any vault, privy or private drain, and with consent of the owner or with an appropriate warrant or as otherwise permitted by law, may have access to any and all parts of every dwelling or building necessary for such examination and for such length of time as may be necessary to complete the same, and also for the purpose of cleaning the same when necessary. Designated employees of the chief of police, the environmental health division, the director of inspections, the director of public works, shall have the same right of access. Access may also be obtained at any time when one (1) of the above-named officials or their authorized representatives determines that entry for such examination and/or cleaning is necessary because conditions appear to be present that pose an imminent danger to life or health which makes it unreasonably impracticable to either obtain consent or obtain a warrant to permit such entry.
