Legal Documents of Mountain City

Any person who neglects or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Where cross-connections, interconnections, auxiliary intakes, or by-passes are found that constitute an extreme hazard of immediate concern of contaminating the public water system, corrective action shall be taken to eliminate the threat to the public water system. Immediate steps shall be taken to disconnect the public water supply from the on-site piping system unless the imminent hazard(s) is corrected immediately. If necessary, water service shall be discontinued (following legal notification) for failure to maintain back-flow prevention devices in proper working order. Likewise the removal, by-passing, or altering the protective device(s) or the installation thereof so as to render the device(s) ineffective shall constitute grounds for discontinuance of water service. Water service to such premises shall not be restored until the customer has corrected or eliminated such conditions or defects to the satisfaction of the Mountain City Public Water Supply. (1994 Code, § 18-310)
