§ 122-116. Inspections by customer.

It shall be the duty of the customer-user at any premises where backflow prevention assemblies are installed to have certified inspections and operational tests made at least once a year. In those instances where the county deems the hazard to be great enough, certified inspections may be required at more frequent intervals. These inspections and tests shall be at the expense of the water user and shall be performed by the assembly manufacturer's representative or by a certified tester approved by the county. It shall be the duty of the customer-user to see that these tests are made in a timely manner. The customer-user shall notify the county utilities department, in writing, at least 48 hours in advance, when tests are to be undertaken so that it may have a representative witness the tests if so desired. These assemblies shall be repaired, overhauled or replaced at the expense of the customer-user whenever said assemblies are found to be defective. Records of such tests, repairs and overhaul shall be kept and made available to the county utilities department within 30 days of such test, repair or overhaul.
