No water from any private well shall be plumbed or connected in such a manner that city water and well water are or can be connected to the same piping system or appliance either both at the same time, or each separately at different times. The City Superintendent or his or her designated representative may enter on to and inspect the owner’s premises, at all reasonable times when necessary to determine that no such cross-connection or cross-connections exist. If any cross-connections are found by the City Superintendent to exist, he or she may order the use of the private well to be permanently discontinued and/or the system permanently disconnected from the city water system. The owner, tenant or lessee shall be liable severally and jointly for all damages to the city water system and users caused by such cross-connection.
