§ 78-271. Inspections.

(a)

To ensure that the provision of the city ordinances and regulations and procedures are being observed, duly authorized employees of the city bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter any building, structure, or property serviced by a connection to the reclaimed water system of the city for purposes of inspecting the piping system or systems, backflow preventer, valves, and/or all devices installed by the customer which connect to or control the reclaimed water distribution system or use of reclaimed water on such property.

(b)

Consent to such access shall be obtained from a person of suitable age and discretion therein or in control thereof. The refusal of such information or refusal of access, when requested, shall be deemed evidence of the presence of violation of the policies and regulations adopted herein and shall be grounds for immediate discontinuance of the reclaimed water service by the city to the property.

(c)

Inspections shall be at reasonable times and with reasonable frequency. Where there exists cause to believe that a violation is committed, the city may cause the property to be inspected as necessary to prevent or terminate the occurrence of such violations(s).
