Item 4FCity of Southlake, Texas M E M O R A N D U M September 18, 2007 To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Public Works Director st Subject:Ordinance No. 699-A, 1 Reading, Repeal Ordinance 699 and Amend the City of Southlake Cross Connection Ordinance. (if approved at first reading, the public hearing will held on October 2, 2007) Action st Requested: Ordinance No. 699-A, 1 Reading, Repeal Ordinance 699 and Amend the City of Southlake Cross Connection Ordinance. Background Information: In 1998, the City of Southlake adopted Ordinance 699 pursuant to TAC 30, Section 290, Regulations for Public Drinking Water Systems. That ordinance set in place the means for identifying and isolating potential cross connections to the public water system which could present a hazard to the public water supply. That isolation is accomplished with the installation of one of several types of backflow prevention assemblies. Depending on the degree of hazard, some of these assemblies are required to be tested annually to insure that they continue to function properly. As adopted, Ordinance No. 699 requires that all such assemblies be tested when they are installed by an individual licensed by the State and registered with the City. It assumed that subsequent annual testing of assemblies could be accomplished by City staff. It is neither practical nor possible with existing city staff to test and repair/replace all the devices that fall in to this category. In order to fully comply with State Drinking Water Regulations, Ordinance 699A will place the responsibility of the annual assembly testing on the property owner, manager or tenant. City environmental staff will maintain records required by the state regulations and insure that annual testing is performed by State licensed individuals. Financial Considerations: None. Citizen Input/ Board Review: None Legal Review: The City Attorney has reviewed proposed Ordinance No. 699-A Alternatives: The City Council may approve or deny this Ordinance No. 699-A on First Reading. Supporting Documents: Ordinance No. 699-A Staff st Recommendation: ApproveOrdinance No. 699-A, 1 Reading, Repeal Ordinance 699 and Amend the City of Southlake Cross Connection Ordinance.

(3)Low hazard shall mean the classification assigned to an actual or potential cross-connection that potentially could allow a substance that may be objectionable but not hazardous to one's health to backflow into the potable water supply. (4)Plumbing hazard shall mean an internal or plumbing-type cross- connection in a consumer's potable water system that may be either a pollutional or a contamination-type hazard. (5)Pollution hazard shall mean an actual or potential threat to the physical properties of the water system or the potability of the public or the consumer's potable water system but which would not constitute a health or system hazard, as defined by the Maximum degree of intensity of pollution which the potable water system could be degraded under this definition would cause a nuisance or be aesthetically objectionable or could cause damage to the system or its appurtenances. (6)System hazard shall mean an actual or potential threat of severe danger to the physical properties of the public or consumer's potable water supply or of a pollution or contamination that would have a detrimental effect on the quality of the potable water in the system. Director means the director of the Public Works or his designee assigned to enforce and administer this article. Double Check Detector Assembly ( or DCDA) means a mechanical protection assembly consisting of two approved double check valves assembled in parallel, equipped with a bypass meter to detect small loss of water. Double check valve backflow prevention assembly (or double check valve assembly or DC) means an assembly that consists of two independently operating check valves which are spring –loaded or weighted. The assembly comes complete with a gate valve on each side of the checks, as well as test cocks to test the checks for tightness. Drinking water means water distributed for human consumption, for use in preparing food or beverages, or for use in cleaning a utensil or article used in preparing or consuming food or beverages by human beings.
