(A) (1) At least once per year, it will be the duty of the customer/user at any premise(s) where any backflow prevention assembly(s) is installed to have a certified test made of their assemblies. In those specific instances where the town deems the hazard to be great enough, certified inspections and test at more frequent intervals might be required.
(2) These tests shall be at the expense of the water user and shall be performed by a certified technician approved by the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment and the town. An inspection of the assembly may be performed at any time complying with this chapter.
(B) As necessary, the assembly shall be repaired or replaced at the expense of the customer/user whenever the assembly(s) is found to be defective. Records of all such tests, repairs or replacements shall be kept by the customer/user and the town.
(C) Existing assemblies shall be sealed by the technician performing the test at the completion of the test.
(D) All testing equipment used in testing of backflow prevention assemblies shall be checked for accuracy yearly, or more often, and proof of compliance shall be submitted to the town upon receipt of certification.
(E) The town retains the right to test or otherwise check the installation and operation of any containment assembly at any time to assure proper operation.
