It shall be the duty of the Department to cause inspections
to be made of all properties served by the public water supply where
cross-connection with the public water supply is deemed possible.
The frequency of inspections and reinspections based on potential
health hazards involved shall be as established by the Department
and as approved by the Michigan Department of Public Health.
The representative of the Township shall have the right to enter
at any reasonable time any property served by a connection to the
water distribution system for the purpose of inspecting the piping
system or systems thereof for cross-connections. On request, the owner,
lessees or occupants of any property so served shall furnish to the
inspection agency any pertinent information regarding the piping system
or systems on such property. The refusal of such information or refusal
of access, when requested, shall be deemed evidence of the presence
of cross-connections.
The potable water supply made available on the properties served
by the water distribution system shall be protected from possible
contamination as specified by this Part 1 and by the State of Michigan
and Township plumbing codes. Any water outlet which could be used
for potable or domestic purposes and which is not supplied by the
potable system must be labeled in a conspicuous manner as water unsafe
for drinking.
If any provisions of this Part 1 or any ordinances of the county
or any statute of the State of Michigan shall impose greater restrictions
than herein set forth, then such provisions or statutes shall control.
