§ 28-566. Unauthorized work to the system.  


Latest version.
  • No person, unless expressly authorized by the district director or his/her designee, shall tamper with, work on, or in any way alter or damage any district reclaimed water facility. Tampering or work shall include, but is not limited to, opening and closing valves, or causing any water to flow from the system. No unauthorized person shall cut into or make connection to a reclaimed water distribution system line. The offending person shall be liable for the cost of all charges attributable to the correction of such tampering, including legal expenses. Payment for or correcting of such damage shall not relieve the offending person from civil or criminal penalties that Hernando County or a court of law may impose for a violation of this ordinance. The service valve located between the reclaimed water customer's irrigation system and the district's reclaimed water distribution system may be operated by the customer only with district approval.
