A.

These policies and procedures shall be implemented and in effect immediately in conjunction with those specified in Section 20-137 and shall apply to all new and existing potable water, fire protection and irrigation systems. Priorities shall be established for inspection of cross connection hazards and requirement of installation of cross connection control devices at the service connection. Priorities will be arranged based on the highest degree of actual or potential threat to the potable water system.

B.

An approved backflow prevention assembly shall be installed on each service line to a customer's water system at or near the property line or immediately inside the building being served; but in all cases, before the first branch line leading off the service line wherever the following conditions exist:

1.

In the case of a premises having an auxiliary water supply (excluding residential groundwater wells for irrigation), the public water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by installing an approved backflow prevention assembly in the drinking water service line, appropriate to the degree of hazard.

2.

In the case of a premises on which any industrial fluids or any other objectionable substances are handled in such fashion as to create an actual or potential hazard to the public water system, the public water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by installing an approved backflow prevention assembly in the drinking water service line, appropriate to the degree of hazard. This shall include the handling of process waters and waters originating from the utility system that have been subject to deterioration of quality.

3.

In the case of a premises having (a) internal cross connections that cannot be permanently corrected and controlled, or (b) intricate plumbing and piping arrangements or where entry to all portions of the premises is not readily accessible for inspection purposes, making it impractical or impossible to ascertain whether or not dangerous cross connections exist, the public water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by installing an approved backflow prevention assembly in the service line.
