No consumer shall connect, in any manner, any water pump or other apparatus taking water from any other water supply source, or any foreign liquid or material, to any main or pipe supplying water by the village, even though such connection may be protected by check valves or closed gate valves, because of the danger of polluted water or liquids being forced back into the mains and pipes of the village. Any consumer having or making any such cross connection shall immediately remove the same upon demand and pay the village all costs incurred because of the same. The existence of any cross connection, closed or open, shall be deemed sufficient to hold the consumer solely responsible and liable for any and all expenses, claims, or suits for damages, either direct or resultant, or could have in any possible manner have been caused by such cross connection.
