conditions exist, and, if such interconnections are discovered, the
director shall require the purveyor of water to discontinue water
service unless the condition is abated within a reasonable period
of time fixed by the director. No device shall be sold in the city
which provides such an interconnection as a means of operation, unless
the water supply is adequately protected.
