It shall be the duty of any customer-user at any premises where backflow prevention assemblies are installed as stipulated in § 53.08(A) through (G), to have certified inspections and operational tests made upon installation and at least once per year. In those instances where the Town Superintendent deems the hazard to be great enough, the Superintendent may require inspection at more frequent intervals. The inspections and tests shall be at the expense of the water user and shall be performed by a certified tester registered and approved by the State of Indiana and the town. It shall be the duty of the customer to see that these tests are made in a timely manner. If a customer-user does not have its backflow prevention assembly tested within 30 days of the testing due date, the town may discontinue water service to the premises to maintain the safety of the public water system. These assemblies shall be repaired, overhauled or replaced at the expense of the customer-user whenever said assemblies are found to be defective. Records of such tests, repairs and overhaul shall be kept by the customer-user and a copy furnished to the town.
