Summit Water & Supply By-Laws
AWWA “Cross-Connection Control Manual – Accepted Procedure
And
Practice”
Purpose:
The purpose of the Summit Water and
Supply Company (Company) Cross-Connection Control program is
to protect the public water system, as defined in WAC 246-290-010, from
contamination via cross-connections.
General:
Except
where specifically designated herein, all words used in this procedure
shall carry their customary meanings. Words used in the present tense
include the future, and plural includes the singular: The word “shall”
is always mandatory; the word “may” denotes the Company’s use of
discretion in making a decision.
Definitions:
“Approved air gap” means a physical
separation between the free-flowing end of a potable water supply pipeline
and the overflow rim of an open or non-pressurized receiving vessel. To
be an air gap approved by the water company, the separation must be at
least:
·
Twice the diameter of the
supply piping measured vertically from the overflow rim of the receiving
vessel, and in no case be less than one inch, when unaffected by vertical
surfaces (sidewalls); and:
·
Three times the diameter of
the supply piping, if the horizontal distance between the supply pipe and
a vertical surface (sidewall) is less than or equal to three times the
diameter of the supply pipe, or if the horizontal distance between the
supply pipe and intersecting vertical surfaces (sidewalls) is less than or
equal to four times the diameter of the supply pipe and in no case less
than one and one-half inches.
“Approved backflow prevention assembly”
means an RPBA, RPDA, DCVA, or DCDA of make, model, and size that is
approved by the Company and listed on the DOH approved list.
“Assessment of risk”
shall express the results of an evaluation of a potential health, system,
or plumbing hazard. The evaluation required in making a determination of
the type of backflow preventer needed to isolate a potential cross
connection (e.g., a plumbing fixture), or a group of cross connections
contained within a facility or complex of facilities (e.g., a shopping
mall) is comprised of the following steps:
·
Determine the degree of potential health hazard risk to the
public water system. (In assessing the purveyor’s risk of contamination
of the public water system, if knowledge of the degree of hazard posed by
a substance is not known, the purveyor must assume that it is high.
Generally, almost all substances other than potable water are considered a
health hazard of some degree).
·
Determine the high or low probability that a
cross-connection may occur.
1. The
probability increases that an existing cross-connection will go undetected
as the complexity of a piping system increases.
2. Piping
changes will create new cross-connections, or change the operating
conditions from backsiphonage to backpressure conditions.
3. A
backflow preventer could be by-passed or removed from service.
4. A
substance could be changed or increased in strength.
5. A
substance may deteriorate, and thus become a health hazard.
6. A
substance, when combined with the chemicals in the potable water supply,
or when exposed to certain piping material, may react and form a compound
that poses a health hazard, such as CO2 mixing with water to form carbolic
acid that leaches copper from a service pipe.
7. A
substance, if it contains a bacteriological contaminant, could become a
health hazard long after it enters the potable water supply, through
bacteria re-growth.
·
Determine the risk level acceptable to the purveyor, and
·
Determine the reliability required of the backflow preventer.
“Authority Having Jurisdiction” means the

Cross-Connections within the service area of Summit Water and Supply
Company (Company). Where it is officially, actually, and/or economically
unfeasible to find, eliminate or to permanently control all
cross-connections of the customer’s water system, and when it is mandated
by WAC 246-290-490 and/or deemed necessary by the Company cross-connection
specialist (CCS), there shall be installed at the Company’s water service
connection an approved backflow prevention assembly commensurate with the
potential degree of hazard posed by the customer’s water system upon the
public water supply. The most current version of WAC 246-290-490 shall be
the Company’s minimum standard with the following additions;
Existing Service Connection Inspection
To comply with the State of Washington,
Department of Health requirements as defined in Chapter 246-290-490 of the
WAC, the Board of Directors have determined that all existing service
connections be evaluated on a priority based on potential hazard exposure
to the water system. This shall be addressed on a "case-by-case" basis.
Commercial and industrial consumers will be evaluated in a systematic
manner, after the commercial program is developed. Residential consumers
will be evaluated over a longer period of time, with initial evaluations
based on construction activity, landscape improvements, irrigation
installations, service reactivation and observations by Company personnel
may initiate an onsite inspection to be conducted by the qualified Company
personnel.
Existing residential connections
determined by the CCS to have a potential cross-connection hazard shall
have an approved premise isolation backflow assembly installed.
Failure to comply shall result in the
Company taking necessary action to protect the public water supply by
suspending service or by the installation of a backflow prevention
assembly at the customer’s expense. This backflow assembly charge shall
be added to the customer’s water bill. Failure to pay the water bill may
result in termination of water service.
Accelerated
Installation of Cross-Connection Assemblies
Effective March 1,
2007 the Company requires that all new connections be protected by
premises isolation. The minimum acceptable assembly is a DCVA as shown
in the Company’s standards and approved by the Manager. The assembly shall
be commensurate with the potential degree of hazard the connection may
pose. Person(s) requesting service from the Company will incur the
initial expense of the installation and testing of premises isolation
assemblies. The fees for the installation and testing shall be reviewed
periodically, adjusted accordingly, and included as part of the meter install
cost for those wishing to connect to Company system. The Company will
assume the responsibility of scheduling the installation and testing of
the assemblies. This work may be performed by either Summit Water or its
contractor.
Effective January 1, 2007 when existing
homes or structures served by the Company are sold or ownership
transferred the cost for installing and testing a premise isolation
backflow assembly (minimum of a DCVA) shall be added to any request for a
closing bill (escrow). The Company will assume the responsibility of
scheduling the installation and testing of the assemblies. This work may
be performed by either Summit Water or its contractor; and
The Company shall be responsible for
testing and normal maintenance of these residential premise isolation
backflow assemblies installed per this policy. The Company or its
independent Contractor shall perform the testing and normal maintenance.
Annually, the Board may review the cost
associated with testing and maintenance and adjust the Customer Fixed
Charges accordingly. Continuation of this policy and adjustments of the
rates shall be at the sole discretion of the Board.
Coordination, and delineation of
