Owners of buildings desiring to use both a city water supply and a supply of water other than that furnished by the City of Rockaway Beach Water System, may obtain city water at applicable rates provided that no physical connection, direct or indirect, exist or be made in any manner, even temporarily, between the city water supply and that of a private water supply or between 2 services connected to the city water supply without the installation of a proper backflow prevention device and the consent and approval of the city Public Works Department. Where an unauthorized connection is found to exist, or where provision is made to connect the 2 systems by means of a spacer or otherwise, the city water supply shall be shut off from the premises immediately with or without notice. In case of the discontinuance, service shall not be re-established until satisfactory proof is furnished that the cross connection has been completely severed and all required disconnection and reconnection fees have been paid.
