No cross-connections shall be allowed from a private well to or from the municipal water system. The Utilities Superintendent shall inspect the owner’s premises at least once each year to determine that no cross-connection exists. It shall be the duty of the owner or occupant of the property to give the Utilities Superintendent access to the property at reasonable times for the purpose of making such inspection. If the Utilities Superintendent is denied entry to make said inspection, a judicial order for entry into and onto the property shall be obtained. If the Utilities Superintendent finds that a cross- connection exists, then he or she shall order the use of the private well to be permanently discontinued. The owner, tenant and lessee shall be liable severally and jointly for all damages to the municipal water system and users of the municipal water system caused by such cross-connection.
