The consumer is responsible for maintaining his private water system to insure that no unprotected
cross-connections or unacceptable plumbing arrangements are permitted to exist on his premises, and
that no pollutants, contaminants, nor any other material enters the City's water system. An approved
backflow prevention assembly is required at the consumer's water service connection and/or within the
consumer's private water system for the safety of the City's water system.

The consumer, upon the required time period install and/or have tested such backflow prevention
assembly(s) at his own expense; and, failure, refusal, or inability on the part of the consumer to install,
have tested and maintained said assembly(s), shall constitute grounds for denying and/or discontinuing
water service to the premises until such requirements have been satisfactorily met.

The existence of a serious threat to the integrity of the City water supply shall be considered sufficient
grounds for immediate termination of water service.
