§ 78-132. Cross connection control manual adopted.

In compliance with the rules of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Section 62-555.360, F.A.C., the recommended practices set forth therein and other applicable rules and regulations, the village hereby adopts a cross connection control manual ("manual") which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The manual may be amended from time to time by the public services director as technology, law or the village council mandates and shall set forth procedures and policies to implement and enforce the provisions of this division. The manual sets forth potential cross connections between a consumer's water system and certain types of equipment, specialized installations, and water uses which afford opportunity for backflow into the public water system. All such facilities and systems as set forth in the manual shall have backflow prevention devices unless it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the public services director that no opportunity exists for backflow of water from the consumer's system into the public water supply. This requirement applies to new construction and existing structures, as well. In addition, backflow prevention devices shall be installed at the service connection on the consumer's side of the meter upon any premises where the nature and extent of the activities on the premises, or the materials used in connection with the activities or materials stored on the premises present an immediate and dangerous hazard to health should a cross-connection occur, even though such cross connection does not exist at the time the backflow prevention device is to be installed. Decisions regarding replacement of backflow prevention devices shall be made by the public services director in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the manual.
