The consumer at each property at which containment and/or confinement device(s) have been installed, except those with devices installed in accordance with § 51.09(A), shall have each containment and/or confinement device(s) tested on an annual basis, and perform any routine maintenance to the device as recommended by the manufacturer, and provide the Cross-Connection Coordinator with a report of that inspection and work. The consumer shall cause the 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 or his or her designee may immediately thereafter discontinue public water supply service to that premises and service shall not be restored until the devices have been rendered operational. Where the use of water is critical to the continuance of normal operations or protection of life, property, or equipment, duplicated containment or 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.
