As a condition of water service, customers shall install, maintain and operate their piping, plumbing systems, and BPAs in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon and the city of Talent. The following provisions apply:

A. The city shall have access to the premises during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If any water user refuses the city or its designee access to any areas of the premises, the user shall install a reduced pressure principle BPA at the service connection to the premises at the user’s cost. Failure to install the BPA assembly shall result in termination of city services.

B. The customer must comply with state and federal laws governing the separation of dual water systems or installations of backflow protective devices to protect the public water supply from the danger of cross-connections. Backflow protective devices must be installed as near the service as possible and shall be open to test and inspection by the city. Plans for installation of backflow protective devices must be approved by the city prior to installation.

C. Water service may be refused or discontinued to any premises where there exists a cross-connection in violation of state or federal laws.

D. The service of water to any premises may be immediately discontinued by the city if any defect is found in the check valve installations or other protective devices, or if it is found that dangerous unprotected cross-connections exist. Water service will not be restored until such defects are corrected. [Ord. 649 § 13.]
