The control or elimination of cross connections and the criteria for determining degree of hazard and prescribing appropriate levels of protections shall be in accordance with the UPC and the UPDWR. Water service to any premise shall be contingent upon the customer providing appropriate cross connection control if determined necessary. Determination and enforcement shall be responsibility of the Lindon City Public Works Department. Water service may be refused or terminated to any premises where an unprotected cross connection may allow contamination or pollutants to backflow into the public drinking water system.

Authorized employees of Lindon City with proper identification; shall have free access at reasonable hours of the day, to all areas of a premise or building to which drinking water is supplied for the purpose of conducting hazard assessment surveys. Water service may be refused or terminated, or maximum backflow protection may be required, to the premise where access to perform surveys is denied, where unprotected cross connections are located, or in the event that installed assemblies are not tested and maintained as required by State and local regulations.

Before any water service is terminated, a “due process” of notifying the customer and providing a reasonable time for compliance to be achieved will be observed according to the operating procedures of Lindon City. However, in the event of an actual backflow incident which endangers the public health, water service may be terminated immediately and not be restored until the cross connection is either eliminated or adequately protected.
