§ 51.58 IMMINENT HAZARD.
   (A)   If it has been determined that a customer’s private water system has an imminent hazard, such customer must install a backflow prevention assembly specified by the town and this section. This assembly must be installed within 24 hours of notification from the town. If the customer fails to install the specified assembly within the allowed time limit, water service to the customer’s private water system will be terminated and may be subject to specified civil penalties. If the town is unable to notify the customer in 24 hours of determining an imminent hazard exists, the town may terminate water service until the specified assembly is installed. These actions may be carried out under the Safe Drinking Water Act (Title XIV, Section 1431) and the State Plumbing Code (Appendix D104.2.6).
   (B)   Only a backflow prevention assembly offering a greater degree of protection may be installed in place of a specified assembly required by this section.
