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.
In addition an approved, listed expansion tank or other device designed for thermal expansion
control is required.
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.
