IMPORTANT - Please note that your water and sewer bills are based on the amount of water you use. Every customer has a
water meter that separates the city's water system from his/her private plumbing system. Once the water passes through the
meter, the customer has purchased it and it no longer belongs to the city.
Notice: Per City Ordinance #2008-107, the City charges a water and sewer meter size base fee for all meters larger than the
standard 5/8th.

City of Pasadena & El Cary Estates Service Agreement
I. PURPOSE. The City of Pasadena is responsible for protecting the drinking water supply from contamination or pollution which could
result from improper system construction or configuration on the retail connection owner's side of the meter. The purpose of this service
agreement is to notify each customer of the restrictions which are in place to provide this protection. The public water system enforces
these restrictions to ensure the public health and welfare. Each retail customer must sign this agreement before the City of Pasadena will
begin service.
II. RESTRICTIONS. The following unacceptable practices are prohibited by State regulations.

contamination shall be isolated from the public water system by an air-gap or an appropriate backflow prevention device.
B. No cross-connection between the public drinking water supply and a private water system is permitted. These potential threats to the
public drinking water supply shall be eliminated at the service connection by the installation of an air-gap or a reduced pressure-zone
backflow prevention device.

A. The Customer shall allow his property to be inspected for possible cross-connections and other potential contamination hazards. These
inspections shall be conducted by the City of Pasadena or its designated agent prior to initiating new water service; when there is reason
to believe that cross-connections or other potential contamination hazards exist; or after any major changes to the private water
distribution facilities. The inspections shall be conducted during the City of Pasadena’s normal business hours.
B. The City of Pasadena 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.
C. The Customer shall immediately remove or adequately isolate any potential cross-connections or other potential contamination hazards
on his premises.

IV. ENFORCEMENT. If the Customer fails to comply with the terms of the Service Agreement, the City of Pasadena shall, at its option, either
terminate service or properly install, test, and maintain an appropriate backflow prevention device at the service connection. Any
expenses associated with the enforcement of this agreement shall be billed to the Customer.
