§ 122-151. General.

(a)

Unauthorized connections prohibited. No person shall make an unauthorized water or sewer connection nor obtain unauthorized water or wastewater services. Persons so making unauthorized connections or obtaining unauthorized service shall be subject to a fee as set forth in the county water and wastewater fee schedule, published separately, and shall also be subject to prosecution for a violation of this Code.

(b)

Requirement to prevent cross-connections. The construction and operation of all water and wastewater system piping shall be in such a manner so as to eliminate cross connections or the possibility thereof. It is the intent of this section to protect the public health by providing regulations whereby the possibilities for the contamination of the water supply due to cross connections with the wastewater system are greatly reduced or eliminated. For that reason the provisions and requirements contained in the county cross connection control program are adopted herein by reference.

(c)

Malicious damage to equipment. No person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the water or wastewater facilities. Any person violating this provision shall be subject to immediate arrest under the charge of disorderly conduct and shall also be subject to prosecution for a violation of this Code.
