Permit Application # 37379
Address To Be Announced, Warehouse Metal Building System
A backflow prevention assembly is required on the service connection at this address. 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 this facility cannot have the water service
interrupted during testing or repair, a bypass may be installed with the same degree of protection.
A backflow prevention assembly is required on the fire line riser at this address. This must be an
approved Double Check Backflow Assembly installed horizontally and accessible for testing.
If there is antifreeze in the system, an approved Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly is
required. This also must be installed horizontally and accessible for testing. Adequate drainage
must be available for water spillage during annual testing and maintenance. This office must
approve a vertical installation.
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 prevcmers please
contact this office.
