When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sample point
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.

: definition of sample chamber on Kitty's site seems to fit the definition Jo found: "a sample chamber is used to retain a volume of the treated effluent prior to entering the watercourse"

observation well
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.
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/data_searches/obswell/
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.

: Observation wells are normally used within the context of soil surveys. The context here is industrial and drains.

well, since no context was given initially, it seemed as good a guess as any!

measuring well
| this site speaks of 'measuring well discharge' as a single term, where 'measuring' means 'het meten van'. |
