(a) The supplier of water shall deny or discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupant thereof, the water service to any premises wherein any backflow prevention device required by this chapter is not installed, tested and maintained in a manner acceptable to the supplier of water, or if it is found that the backflow prevention device has been removed or bypassed, or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises, or if a low pressure cut-off, low suction throttling valve or variable speed suction limiting control, as required by Section 927.07 is not installed and maintained in working order, or if the supplier of water or the Director, or the authorized representative of either, is denied entry to determine compliance with this chapter.
(b) Water service to such premises shall not be restored until the consumer has corrected or eliminated such conditions or defects in conformance with this chapter, and to the satisfaction of the supplier of water. There will be a fifty dollar ($50.00) turn on fee for all noncompliance dealing with backflow. This fee will need to be paid prior to water service being restored. In order to have water service turned on the certified plumber testing the backflow will need to be onsite to test said device(s) at the time of restoration of water service.
