(A) The consumer will be responsible for the annual testing of the backflow prevention assembly by contract with a certified backflow assembly tester. The consumer will annually furnish to the water purveyor, and/or the city, with a certificate of such satisfactory testing by the anniversary date of the installation of the assembly. In instances where the water purveyor, and/or Plumbing Inspector, deems the hazard to be great enough, testing may be required at more frequent intervals, costs of which would be borne by the consumer. Any maintenance fees required as a result of inspections, or testing, shall be paid by the consumer through private contract. Records of inspections, testing, or repairs shall be kept by the water purveyor, and/or the City Water Superintendent, and made available to the State Health Department.
(B) All new construction within the city shall be effective upon passage of this subchapter. All existing consumer premises shall be in compliance with this subchapter by October 6, 1997.
