Any violation of any of said provisions shall be punishable upon conviction by a penalty as set forth in Paragraph 1-4-10(a)(1) of this Code for each separate offense. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day or portion thereof that the violation of any of the provisions of this Chapter occurs or continues unabated. In addition, service of water to any premises may be discontinued if unprotected cross-connections exist on the premises or if any defect is found in an installed backflow prevention assembly.
