In order to ensure against the hazards of cross connections, it will be necessary to periodically and systematically reinspect for the presence of cross connections.

The time allowed for correction or elimination of any cross connection found shall be as follows:

(2) Cross connections which do not pose an extreme hazard to the water supply system but nevertheless constitute a cross connection should be corrected within a reasonable period of time. The length of time allowed for correction should be reasonable and may vary depending on the type of device necessary for protection. The water utility shall indicate to each customer, where a cross connection is found to exist, the time period allowed for compliance.

Inspection forms will also be used for reinspection for cross connection.

ARTICLE III. WATER AND SEWER RATES
The City Council has determined that, in order to provide safe, adequate water to the users of the system, and to assure safe transportation and treatment of sewage discharged into the system by all users of the system, the system must receive sufficient total annual revenue to ensure the proper operation and maintenance of the system, the development and perpetuation of the system, and the preservation of the financial integrity of the system. The City Council has also determined that the system shall be self- sustaining, supported solely by the revenues of the system and not dependent upon the property tax payers of the city. To meet those ends, City Council shall annually fix the rates and charges to be imposed on all users of each component of the system in accordance with the principles and standards set forth in this article.
