Explanation: The directives in your context seem to be mainly about waste water (pre)treatment (i.e. grease and oil traps/interceptors, septic tanks etc.).
Inspection or 'drain inspection' usually seems to take place at a so-called 'sample point' or - if not available/accessible - a 'sample chamber' which contains the water prior to discharge into the public sewer system. See f.i. the link below.

The given link provides the following definition for 'sample point':
This is the location identified on the Environment Agency consent to discharge where a sample can be taken of the treated effluent prior to entering the watercourse.
And for 'sample chamber':
Where a sample point is not accessible at the property a sample chamber is used to retain a volume of the treated effluent prior to entering the watercourse.
more info I found online: "Het water wordt naar een meetput getransporteerd. Hier wordt de hoeveelheid en de kwaliteit van het gezuiverd water gemeten voordat het op het oppervlaktewater wordt geloosd."
I'll see what I can do :-) For now all the info I can give you is that I'm working on a text for a company that makes automobile parts. The text is a kind of procedure they hand out to the employees of their different departments (this one being 'Environment'), as a list of directives you could say.
Here's the rest of that bulleted list:
Onderhoud
· stelt installaties voor waterbehandeling en aanverwante voorzieningen in volgens de geldende richtlijnen.
· zorgt voor een periodiek onderhoud van rioleringsstelsels, olieafscheiders, vetvangers en gebouwgebonden installaties (sceptische putten, ...).
· zorgt voor een periodiek onderhoud van de meetgoot en meetapparatuur in de meetput.
· bewaakt het volume van het waterverbruik.
Explanation: Well, since we're stabbing in the dark, this is another option given on IATE. Observatieput = synonym. It seems to be related to observing/measuring the groundwater level:
IATE definition:
a non-pumping well used for observing the elevation of the water table or the piezometric surface
http://www.ngwa.org/about/monitoringwell.aspx
The National Ground Water Association unveiled an observation well installed at its headquarters site in Westerville, Ohio, on October 18, 2005. The unveiling coincided with World Water Monitoring Day. The well is equipped to provide real-time water level data on a year-round basis—underscoring NGWA's commitment to studying, learning, and sharing knowledge about ground water, upon which approximately 50 percent of the world's population is dependent for its drinking water supply.

The primary purpose of the Observation Well Network is to collect, analyze and interpret ground water hydrographs and ground water quality data from various developed aquifers in B.C.. Observation wells are equipped with automatic water level recorders or data loggers that monitor water level fluctuations on a continuous basis.
