Purpose. The purpose of this Article is:
Application. This Article shall apply to all premises served by the public potable water system of the City of Bowling Green.
Policy. This Article will be reasonably interpreted by the Water Purveyor. It is the Water Purveyor's intent to recognize the varying degrees of hazard and to apply the principle that the degree of protection shall be commensurate with the degree of hazard. The Water Purveyor shall be primarily responsible for 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 within the consumer's premises. If, in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or his/her 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/her 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.
[CC 1996 §705.300; CC 1977 §67.610; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.610), 1-9-1984; Ord. No. 1393 §I, 11-5-2003]
Any physical link, between a potable water supply and any other substance, fluid or source, which makes possible contamination of the potable water supply due to the reversal of flow of the water in the piping or distribution system.
Hazard, Health: Any condition, device or practice in the water supply system and its operation which could create or may create a danger to the health and well-being of the water consumer.
Hazard, Plumbing: A plumbing type cross-connection in a consumer's potable water system that has not been properly protected by a vacuum breaker, air-gap separation or backflow prevention device.
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 be aesthetically objectionable or could cause damage to the system or its appurtenances, but would not be dangerous to health.
Hazard, System: An actual or potential threat of severe damage to the physical properties of the public potable water system or the consumer's potable water system or of a pollution or contamination which would have a protracted effect on the quality of the potable water in the system.
All expenditures during the useful life of the system for materials, labor, utilities and other items which are necessary for managing and maintaining the system to achieve the capacity and performance for which system was designed and constructed.
Expenditures for obtaining and installing equipment, accessories or appurtenances which are necessary during the useful life of the system to maintain the capacity and performance for which such works were designed and constructed. The term "operation and maintenance" includes replacement.
Any user of the City's water system whose lot, parcel of real estate or building is used for domestic dwelling purposes only.
Is mandatory. MAY — Is permissive.
That portion of the total water service charge which is levied in a proportional and adequate manner for the cost of operation, maintenance and replacement of the water system.
A water volume measuring and recording device, furnished and/or installed by the City of Bowling Green or furnished and/or installed by a user and approved by the City of Bowling Green.
Any devices and systems for the storage, treatment, recycling, transmission and distribution of water. These include transmission and distribution lines, individual systems, pumping, power and other equipment and their appurtenances; extensions, improvements, remodeling, additions and alterations thereof; elements essential to provide a reliable water supply such as standby treatment units and may works, including site acquisitions of land, that will be part of the treatment process.
[CC 1996 §705.310; CC 1977 §67.620; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.620), 1-9-1984; Ord. No. 1394 §I(D), 11-5-2003]
When a public water system becomes available, customers that connect must physically disconnect from the existing private system (well) in accordance with the City's cross-connection prevention ordinance. The well shall then be properly plugged in accordance with guidelines established by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Division of Geology and Land Survey (DGLS) and outlined in State Regulation 10 CSR 23 — 3.110 as amended, unless the owner wants to keep it functional for uses other than providing drinking water. A well may only be kept if it remains physically disconnected from the public water supply's distribution system, has a functional pump, is connected to an electrical service and is pumped at least once in a twelve (12) month period. Upon connecting to the public water system, the appropriate DNR Regional Office shall be notified, in writing, that the connection(s) have been made.
[CC 1996 §705.320; CC 1977 §67.630; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.630), 1-9-1984]
The consumer's premises shall be open at all reasonable times to the Water Purveyor or his/her authorized representative for the conduction of surveys and investigations of water use practices within the consumer's premises to determine whether there are actual or potential cross-connections to consumer's water system through which contaminants or pollutants could backflow into the public potable water system.
[CC 1996 §705.330; CC 1977 §67.640; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.640), 1-9-1984]
The type of protection required by this Article shall depend on the degree of hazard which exists, as follows:
[CC 1996 §705.340; CC 1977 §67.650; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.650), 1-9-1984]
An approved backflow prevention device shall be installed on each service line to a consumer's water system service 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 where materials of a toxic or hazardous nature are handled such that if backsiphonage or backpressure should occur, a serious health hazard may result.
Aircraft and missile plants
Canneries, packing houses and reduction plants
Car washing facilities
Chemical manufacturing, processing, compounding or treatment plants

[CC 1996 §705.350; CC 1977 §67.660; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.660), 1-9-1984]
A backflow prevention device required by this Article shall be of a model or construction approved by the Water Purveyor and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
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 Article 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 Article.
[CC 1996 §705.360; CC 1977 §67.670; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.670), 1-9-1984]
Backflow prevention devices required by this Article shall be installed at a location and in a manner approved by the Water Purveyor and shall be installed at the expense of the water consumer.
Backflow prevention devices installed on the service line to the consumer's water system shall be located on the consumer's side of the water meter, as close to the meter as is reasonably practical and prior to any other connection.
[CC 1996 §705.370; CC 1977 §67.680; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.680), 1-9-1984]
It shall be the duty of the consumer at any premises on which backflow prevention devices required by this Article are installed to have inspections, tests and overhauls made in accordance with the following schedule or more often where inspections indicate a need.
Whenever backflow prevention devices required by this Article are found to be defective, they shall be repaired or replaced at the expense of the consumer without delay.
Backflow prevention devices shall not be by-passed, made inoperative, removed or otherwise made ineffective without specific authorization by the Water Purveyor.
[CC 1996 §705.380; CC 1977 §67.690; Ord. No. 686 §1(67.690), 1-9-1984]
The Water Purveyor shall deny or discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupants thereof, the water service to any premises wherein any backflow prevention device required by this Article is not installed, tested and maintained in a manner acceptable to the Water Purveyor or if it is found that the backflow prevention device has been removed or by-passed or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises.
Water service to such premises shall not be restored until the consumer has corrected or eliminated such conditions or defects in conformance with this Article and to the satisfaction of the Water Purveyor.
