A.
The city shall review all requests for new services to determine if backflow protection is needed. Reviews shall also be conducted where plumbing, building permits, or new business licenses or similar approvals are applied for, or as may be necessary from time to time to protect the public health. Plans and specifications must be submitted to the city upon request for review of possible cross-connection hazards as a condition of service for new service connections. If it is determined that a backflow prevention device is necessary to protect the public water system, the required device must be installed before service will be granted.
B.
The city may require an on-premises inspection to evaluate cross-connection hazards. The city will transmit a written notice requesting an inspection appointment to each affected water user, except that no notice shall need be given where an emergency exists or may exist due to a possible cross-connection or backflow condition: Any customer which cannot or will not allow an on-premises inspection of their piping system shall be required to install the backflow prevention device the city considers necessary.
C.
The city may, at its discretion, require a reinspection of any premises using the city's water services for cross-connection hazards. The city will transmit a written notice requesting an inspection appointment of each affected water user. Any customer which cannot or will not allow an on premises inspection of their piping system shall be required to install a reduced pressure (RP) device.
