(a) If, in the judgment of the Village Administrator and/or such other Village employees as he may designate, an approved backflow prevention device is necessary for the safety of the public water system, the Village Administrator and/or such other Village employees shall give notice to the water consumer to install such an approved device immediately. The water consumer shall, at his own expense, install such an approved device at a location and in a manner approved by the Village Administrator and/or such other Village employees and shall have inspections and tests made of the approved devices as required by the Village Administrator.
(b) No person, firm or corporation shall establish or permit to be established or maintain or permit to be maintained any connection whereby a private, auxiliary or emergency water supply other than the regular public water supply of the Village may enter the supply or distributing system of the Municipality, unless such private, auxiliary or emergency water supply and the method of connection and use of such supply shall have been approved by the Village Administrator and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
(c) If it comes to the attention of the Village that a water consumer has an independent water supply and does not have an approved cross connection device, the Village Administrator or his designated employee shall notify the water consumer that if an approved cross connection device is not installed within ten days, the Village may terminate water service to the consumer until such time as an approved cross connection device is installed.
(d) If it is determined by the Village Administrator that the lack of an approved cross connection device poses a possibility of contamination of Village water supply or threatens to cause a health hazard to other water consumers in any manner the Administrator may terminate water service immediately until such time such approved device is installed.
