§ 4.12.040. Policy.

A.

No water service connection to any premises shall be installed or maintained by the District unless the water supply is protected as required by state laws and regulations and this chapter.

B.

Service of water to any premises shall be discontinued by the District if a backflow prevention assembly, as required by this chapter; is not installed, tested, and maintained; or, if it is found that a backflow prevention assembly has been removed or bypassed, or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises. Service will not be restored until such conditions, or defects, are corrected.

C.

An exception to this policy will be made for property used solely for single-family residences, condominium developments and apartment complexes. No backflow prevention assembly will be required on those types of buildings; however, such an assembly will be required on landscape meter services installed in condominium and apartment developments.

D.

It shall be the policy of the District to grant to the owner of an existing facility that requires a backflow prevention assembly to be installed, three months from the date of written notification to comply with the requirements of this chapter.
