When it has been determined that a backflow protection assembly is required for the prevention on contamination of the public water system, the Backflow Administrator shall notify the owner, in writing, of any such building or premises, to correct within a time set by this chapter, any plumbing installed or existing that is in violation of this chapter. After surveying the private water system the Backflow Administrator will select an approved backflow prevention assembly required for containment control to be installed at service entrance. Prior to the installation of any backflow prevention assembly, the owner of the private water system must be notified that the installation of a backflow prevention assembly may create a closed system, and as a result thermal expansion may occur. Under such circumstance, the customer must understand and assume all liability and responsibilities for that phenomenon.
