Each customer has the duty to keep the space about the meter, the shut-off box, and all backflow and cross-contamination prevention devices serving the property free and clean of any material or obstruction which may, in any way, interfere with the free access to such equipment by water division employees or representatives. The water superintendent or representative may give notice, either in writing or in person, to the owner, customer or occupant of the property to remove any such material or obstruction within 24 hours. Upon a failure to comply with this notice, the water division staff may remove such material or obstruction, and the cost of doing so, plus any administrative expenses, shall be paid by the owner, customer, or occupant of the property.
