The consumer at each property at which containment and/or confinement device(s) have been installed, except those with devices installed in accordance with § 52.07(A) of this code, shall have each containment and/or confinement device(s) tested on an annual basis and perform any routine maintenance to such device as recommended by the manufacturer and provide the Public Utilities Director with a report of this inspection and work. The consumer shall cause such maintenance or repairs to be made, rendering the device fully operational. Failure of the consumer to perform that testing and maintenance shall be cause for the premises to be deemed an immediate public health hazard. The Public Utilities Director may immediately thereafter discontinue public water supply service to that premises and service shall not be restored until such devices have been rendered fully operational. Where the use of water is critical to the continuance of normal operations or protection of life, property, or equipment, duplicate containment of confinement devices shall be provided by the property owner to avoid the necessity of discontinuing water service to test or repair the device or devices.
