§ 10-24. Utilities Department to administer.

(A)

The Utilities 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.

(B)

If, in the judgment of the town through its designated representative, an approved backflow prevention device is required at the town's water service connection to any customer's premises for the safety of the water system, the Utility Superintendent or their designated agent shall give notice in writing to the customer to install such an approved backflow prevention device at each service connection to its premises. The customer shall immediately install such approved device or devices at their own expense; the failure, refusal, or inability on the part of the customer to install such device or devices immediately, shall constitute a ground for discontinuing water service to the premises until such device or devices have been properly installed.
