    • The customer shall allow his property to be inspected for possible cross-connection and other potential contamination hazards. These inspections shall be conducted by the City of Sugar Land or its designated agent prior to initiating new water service; when there is a reason to believe that cross connections or other potential contamination hazards exist; or after any major changes to the private plumbing facilities. The inspections shall be conducted during the City of Sugar Land’s normal business hours.
    • The City of Sugar Land shall notify the customer in writing of any cross-connection or other potential contamination hazard, which has been identified during the initial inspection or the periodic re-inspection.
    • The customer shall immediately correct any possible cross-connection or other potential contamination hazards on his/her premises.
