(a) The Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official shall be responsible for effectively conducting the cross connection control program of the City’s potable water supply and the customer’s potable water system. The Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official may use the current version of the Uniform Plumbing Code, AWWA Manual, USEPA Manual and the USC Manual and all K.A.R. from the KDHE in developing responsible judgment for enforcement of this code. If, in the judgment of the Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official, an approved device or assembly is required, the Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official shall give notice to the customer to install an approved device or assembly. The customer shall immediately install, test or repair an approved device or assembly at the customer’s expense. Failure to comply shall be grounds for discontinuing water service to the service location until the device is properly installed, tested, or repaired.

(b) Determinations made by the Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official for the cross connection control and backflow prevention program may be appealed to the Board of Plumbing Appeals. The Backflow and Cross Connection Enforcement Official shall be notified of all such appeals and the decision of the Board. (Ord. 20196 § 3, 7-23-19.)
