(b) In those cases in which any containment assembly was installed by a prior owner, the City, or any other person, the responsibility for maintenance, testing, and replacement as applicable shall be with the currentowner. (c) The cost of any containment assembly, and any other plumbing modifications necessary and convenient to install a containment assembly, and the testing and maintenance thereof, shall be paid for by theowner. (d) Any containment assembly that has not been installed prior to February 21, 2015 in accordance with this §8-2149 and whose location does not pose an imminent severe hazard to the public water supply shall be considered pre-existing and compliant with this Article. However, any pre-existing, compliant approved backflow assembly will be allowed to remain only in its original location and must be repaired with approved parts. If the containment assembly is removed or repaired with parts that are not approved, then such containment assembly shall no longer be considered pre-existing and compliant and shall be replaced with an containment assembly pursuant to this §8-2149. (e) Private distribution systems shall have a master meter and a master backflow assembly at each connection to the public water supply. (Ord. No. 2015-397, §1, 2-16-15, eff. 2-21-15; Ord.
