assembly and provide the City with the test results showing that the assembly is properly functioning and correctly installed. The City may in its sole and exclusive authority provide an extension of time for a customer's compliance with the installation requirement. In determining whether to grant a time extension, the City may consider, among other factors, the degree of potential risk of contamination of the water supply from cross-connection, the reasons supporting the customer's request for an extension, and the customer's diligence in complying with the requirements of this article. In cases when a backflow prevention assembly fails during periodic testing, the customer will be granted a maximum of 30 days to repair or replace the failed assembly. The City may require a customer to perform immediate repairs or replacement of a failed backflow prevention assembly if the City deems the risk of potential contamination form cross-connection to be unacceptable. The City will not grant any extensions of time to repair or replace a failed backflow assembly. In cases where a customer fails to or refuses to complete the annual testing of their backflow prevention assembly by the January 1st deadline and/or repair or replace a failed backflow prevention assembly as required by the City, the City shall immediately terminate the customer's connection to the City water system in the manner provided in the last paragraph of section 35-53 of this article. Water service to the customer's premises will remain terminated until corrective action has been taken. Once the exiting backflow prevention assembly has been properly repaired or a new assembly installed, the customer must contract a City-approved certified backflow control tester to have the device retested and provide the City with a copy of the test results. If the City deems that the repaired or newly installed assembly is properly installed and functioning, the City will permit the customer to reconnect to the City water system upon payment of all fees and charges necessary to reconnect and recommence water service to the customer's premises.
