It shall be the duty of the utility to cause inspection to be made of all properties serviced by the utility where cross-connection with the public water system is deemed possible. Residential properties serviced by the utility shall be inspected on a 15-year interval. The utility may, but is not required to, perform the cross-connection inspection of the owner's property. If, in the opinion of the utility, the utility is not able to perform the inspection the property owners must, at their own expense, have the plumbing inspected for cross-connections by a certified cross-connection control inspector/surveyor. All non-residential properties serviced by the utility shall be inspected on a two-year interval. The utility may, but is not required to, perform the cross-connection inspection of the owner's property. If, in the opinion of the utility, the utility is not able to perform the inspection, the property owners must, at their own expense, have the plumbing inspected for cross-connections by a certified cross-connection control inspector/surveyor who is a state certified plumber. The frequency of required inspections and re-inspections, based on potential health hazards involved, may be shortened by the utility.
