§ 24-341. Generally.  


Latest version.
  • The county water and sewer department, in its operation of a public potable water supply system, is required to ensure protection of the public health through the provision of minimum requirements and standards for design, construction, operation and maintenance of its system. It is essential that physical cross connections, which create or have the potential to create an imminent and substantial danger to public health, be eliminated from the distribution system and plumbing systems of customers. Backflow can result in the potable water system becoming a transmitter of disease, toxic materials and other hazardous liquids. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and maintain a cross connection control to protect the health of water customers by the control of actual and/or potential cross connections through methods of containment and/or isolation. In addition to division 11, all current and future state and federal ordinances, statues, and codes apply and are enforceable.
