(a) No water service connection shall be installed or maintained to any premises where actual or potential cross connections to the public potable or consumer's water system may exist, unless such actual or potential cross connections are abated or controlled to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Service or his authorized representative.
(b) The Director of Public Service may order the installation of an approved backflow prevention assembly or method at the water service connection(s) to control backflow from the premises.
(c) The owner/consumer shall install the designated assembly or method at his own expenses. Failure, refusal or inability to install said assembly or method shall constitute a justification for discontinuing water service to the premises until such assembly or method has been installed and approved.
(d) The use of the approved backflow preventer at the water service connection does not in any way affect or eliminate the need for individual fixture devices or air-gaps as required by the Ohio Plumbing Code. (Ord. 2001-161. Passed 10-25-01.)
