The City of Wheeling Water Department shall be responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to the backflow or back-siphonage of contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection. If, in the judgment of the City of Wheeling Water Department, an approved backflow assembly is required at the water service connection to any customer's premises, the City of Wheeling Water Department, or his delegated agent, shall give notice in writing to said customer to install an approved backflow prevention assembly at each service connection to his premises. The customer shall, within 90 days install such approved assembly, or assemblies, at his own expense, and failure or refusal, or inability on the part of the customer to install said assembly or assemblies within ninety (90) days, shall constitute a ground for discontinuing water service to the premises until such assembly or assemblies have been properly installed.
