§ 122-204. Unauthorized work on the reclaimed water system.

No person, unless expressly authorized by the utilities director or his/her designee, shall tamper with, work on, or in any way alter or damage any county reclaimed water facility. Tampering or work shall include, but is not limited to, opening and closing valves, or causing any water to flow from the system. No unauthorized person shall cut into or make connection to a reclaimed water distribution system line. The offending person shall be liable for the cost of all charges attributable to the correction of such tampering, including legal expenses. Payment for or correcting of such damage shall not relieve the offending person from civil or criminal penalties the county or court of law may impose for a violation of this Code. The service valve located between the reclaimed water customer's irrigation system and the county's reclaimed water distribution system may be operated by the customer only when the private valve, required on customer's premises, requires repair.
