Title 18 : Water and Sewers
Chapter 2 : Cross-Connections Regulations
18-204 : Regulated.
- No water service connection to any premises shall be installed or maintained by the Dandridge Water Management Facility unless the water supply system is protected as required by this chapter. Service of water to any premises shall be discontinued by the Dandridge Water Management Facility if a backflow prevention device required by this chapter is not installed, tested, and/or maintained; or if it is found that a backflow prevention device has been removed, bypassed, or if an unprotected cross-connection exists on the premises. Service shall not be restored until such conditions or defects are corrected.
- It shall be unlawful for any person to cause a cross-connection to be made or allow one to exist for any purpose whatsoever unless the construction and operation of same have been approved by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and the operation of such cross-connection is at all times under the direction of the manager of the Dandridge Water Management Facility.
- If, in the judgment of the manager or his designated agent, an approved backflow prevention device is required at the water service connection to a customer's premises, or at any point(s) within the premises, to protect the potable water supply, the manager shall compel the installation, testing and maintenance of the required backflow prevention device(s) at the customer's expense.
- An approved backflow prevention device shall be installed on each water service line to a customer's premises at or near the property line or immediately inside the building being served; but in all cases, before the first branch line leading off the service line.
- For new installations, the manager or his designated agent shall inspect the site and/or review plans in order to assess the degree of hazard and to determine the type of backflow prevention device, if any, that will be required, and to notify the owners in writing of the required device and installation criteria. All required devices shall be installed and operational prior to the initiation of water service.
- For existing premises, representatives of the Dandridge Water Management Facility shall conduct inspections and evaluations, and shall require correction of violations in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. #09/10-19, July 2010)
