Permit Application # 37168
3540 JFK Parkway, New "Paragon Office Building"
A backflow prevention assembly is required on the water service. This must be an approved
Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly installed horizontally and accessible for testing. This
assembly is designed to discharge water under a backpressure situation when the second check is
fouled. It is also capable of a full discharge if the first check is fouled. Because of the possibility
of this occurring the assembly must be installed in a location where there is adequate drainage for
the size of the service.
If there is a lawn irrigation system, an approved backflow preventer is required. A separate
permit is required for a lawn irrigation system.
Call for an inspection when assemblies are installed and tested.
All backflow preventer installations must provide adequate clearances on all sides of the
backflow preventer. If there are any questions concerning these backflow preventers please
contact this office.
