The City Engineer shall be responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to the backflow or back-siphonage of contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection. If, in the judgment of the City Engineer, an approved backflow prevention device is required at the city's water service connection to any customer's premises for the safety of the water system, the City Engineer or his designated agent shall give notice in writing to such customer to install such an approved backflow prevention device at each service connection to his premises. The customer shall immediately install such approved device, at his own expense, and failure, refusal, or inability on the part of the customer to install such device immediately shall constitute a ground for discontinuing water service to the premises until such device has been properly installed.
