(A) The Superintendent of Water shall deny or discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupants thereof, the water service to any premises wherein any backflow prevention device required by this subchapter is not installed, tested, maintained and repaired in a manner acceptable to the Inspector or if it is found that the backflow prevention device has been removed or bypassed or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises, or if a low pressure cutoff required by this subchapter is not installed and maintained in working order.
(B) Immediate disconnection with verbal notice can be effected by the Superintendent of Water when the Inspector is assured that imminent danger of harmful contamination of the public water system exists. The action shall be followed by written notification to the consumer of the cause of disconnection.
(C) Water service to the premises shall not be restored until the consumer has corrected or eliminated the conditions or defects in conformance with these regulations and to the satisfaction of the Inspector.
(D) The consumer responsible for backsiphoned material or contamination through backflow, if contamination of the potable water supply system occurs through an illegal cross-connection or an improperly installed, maintained or repaired device, or a device which has been bypassed, must bear the cost of cleanup of the potable water supply system.
