This Section establishes limitations and prohibitions on the access and use of the public potable water system. These limitations and prohibitions are required to meet standards established in the Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as to meet the requirements of Homeland Security. The specific prohibitions and limitations contained in this Section are subject to change when necessary to enable the General Manager to authorize efficient water treatment, protect the integrity of the water treatment plant and the potable water distribution system, and to protect the public health and environment.
The ultimate goal to be achieved by adherence to this Section is to protect the ability of the BGMU water treatment system to produce a safe and satisfactory public supply of water and deliver this water to its customers without violating any applicable State or Federal regulation.

No person shall maliciously, willfully, or negligently break, damage, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure, appurtenance or equipment, which is a part of the potable water treatment plant, the potable water distribution system or any attached portion of the system, including but not limited to: tanks, pumping stations, valves, meters and hydrants.
