[Ord. No. 220 §I, 10-27-1988]
To protect the public potable water supply from contamination or pollution by containing within the consumer's internal distribution system or private water systems contaminants or pollutants which could backflow through the service connection into the public potable water supply system.
Application. This Chapter shall apply to all premises served by the potable water system of the City of Wright City.
The Water Purveyor shall be primarily responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to backflow or contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection. The cooperation of all consumers is required to implement and maintain the program to control cross-connections. The Water Purveyor and consumer are jointly responsible for preventing contamination of the water system.
If, in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or his authorized representative, cross-connection protection is required through either piping modification or installation of an approved backflow prevention device, due notice shall be given to the consumer. The consumer shall immediately comply by providing the required protection at his own expense; and failure, refusal or inability on the part of the consumer to provide such protection shall constitute grounds for discontinuing water service to the premises until such protection has been provided.
[Ord. No. 220 §II, 10-27-1988]
The following definitions shall apply to the interpretations and enforcement of this Chapter:
The unobstructed vertical distance through the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from any pipe or faucet supplying water to a tank, plumbing fixture, or other device and the overflow level rim of the receptacle, and shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe measured vertically above the flooded level rim of the vessel, but in no case less than one (1) inch.
Any water source or system other than the public water supply, that may be available in the building or the premises.
An impairment of the quality of the water by sewage, process fluids, or other wastes to a degree which could create an actual hazard to the public health which could create an actual hazard to the public health through poisoning or through spread of disease by exposure.
Hazard, Pollutional: An actual or potential threat to the physical properties of the water system or to the potability of the public or the consumer's potable water system but which would constitute a nuisance or by aesthetically objectionable or could cause damage to the system or its appurtenances, but would not be dangerous to health.
Any system containing a fluid or solution, which may be chemically, biologically, or otherwise contaminated or polluted in a form or concentration such as would constitute a health, system, pollutional or plumbing hazard if introduced into a potable water supply.
[Ord. No. 220 §III, 10-27-1988]
[Ord. No. 220 §IV, 10-27-1988]
[Ord. No. 220 §V, 10-27-1988]
[Ord. No. 220 §VI, 10-27-1988]
An approved backflow prevention device shall be installed on each service line to a consumer's water system serving premises where in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, actual or potential hazards to the public potable water system exist. The type and degree of protection required shall be commensurate with the degree of hazard.
An approved air-gap separation or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device shall be installed at the service connection or within any premises where, in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the nature and extent of activities on the premises, or the materials used in connection with the activities, or materials stored on the premises, would present an immediate and dangerous hazard to health should a cross-connection occur, even though such cross-connection may not exist at the time the backflow prevention device is required to be installed. This includes but is not limited to the following situations:
Premises on which any substance is handled under pressure so as to permit entry into the public water supply, or where a cross-connection could reasonably be expected to occur, a serious health hazard may result.
[Ord. No. 220 §VII, 10-27-1988]
Existing backflow prevention devices approved by the Water Purveyor at the time of installation and properly maintained shall, except for inspection and maintenance requirements, be excluded from the requirements of this Chapter so long as the Water Purveyor is assured that they will satisfactorily protect the water system. Whenever the existing device is moved from its present location or requires more than minimum maintenance, or when the Water Purveyor finds that the maintenance constitutes a hazard to health, the unit shall be replaced by a backflow prevention device meeting the requirements of this Chapter.
