§ 25-151. Right of entry to inspect private properties.
Latest version.
The director and the director's designated agents, bearing proper credentials and
identification, shall be permitted to enter during reasonable working hours, except
in the event of an emergency, all private properties through which the county holds
a duly negotiated easement for the purposes of, but not limited to, measurement, maintenance,
observation, repair and sampling any portion of the sewage system lying within the
easement. All entry and subsequent work on the easement shall be done in full accordance
with the terms of the specific easement pertaining to the property involved. Specific
permission is granted the director and the director's designated agents, upon proper
notification, to enter all private properties for the purpose of surveying or inspecting
the premises, or sampling or monitoring of wastewater. While working on private properties
referred to in this section, all county employees shall observe all safety rules applicable
to the premises. The owner of the private properties shall not be held liable for
injury to county employees while on the owner's properties.
The county and its authorized agents and employees may enter upon any lands in the
county for the purpose of making such surveys, soundings, drillings, and examinations
as the county may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of planning
and engineering sewer system improvements; and such entry shall not be deemed a trespass
nor shall it be deemed an entry which would constitute a taking in a condemnation
proceeding, providing that reasonable notice of such entry shall be done in a reasonable
manner with as little inconvenience as possible to the owner or occupant of the property,
and the county shall make reimbursement for any actual damages resulting from such
entry.
