Dennis and Adam,
The owners of 632 Anne Lane and 1027 Meadowlawn Place have not responded to our attempt to contact them. Please shut off their service effective today. The service will remain off until they have a certified backflow test submitted into Jeff McCrum. If this means that the tester has to pull it and bench test it at an additional cost then that is on the homeowner. Please also post a door hanger. Thanks.
Chaunee,
Because they did not complete as required by our code, they are now responsible for the shut off fee and the costs for Jeff and my time. Jeff’s is 4 hours and mine is now 2 hours of staff time at our rate for wages and benefits. This is in lieu of the general penalty of $1,000 per day in MMC 1.04.010.
13.04.460 Violation—Penalty.
A. Whenever the City determines that a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter has occurred, the Public Works Director shall cause a written notice to be mailed to the customer, the owner of the property, and to such other persons as the Public Works Director may designate, stating the nature of the violation and a reasonable time within which the violation must be corrected. The offender shall, within the period of time specified in such notice, permanently cease such violations.
B. If a violation to this chapter is likely to cause damage to the City water system or create a danger to public health, water service shall be cut off without formal written notice. The City shall not be responsible for any damage to private property resulting there from. (Ord. 2002-02 §17; Ord. 1976-3 §30)

Gerald,
Update on the backflow device testing- I still have not received a test report nor heard anything from the owners at 1027 Meadowlawn Pl. or 632 Anne Ln. The other residence we sent a certified letter to did get their device tested and it did pass.
I know that generally we do not shut off services on Fridays so if the guys are going to do it, it may be best to wait until after Christmas- I’m assuming that there are only a few testing companies that will be open next week.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Jeff
