In the case of premises having any of the following, <br /> the public water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by <br /> installing an approved backflow prevention assembly in the service line, appropriate to <br /> the degree of hazard: <br /> 1. An auxiliary water supply or a supply that is not or may not be of safe <br /> bacteriological or chemical quality and that is not acceptable as an additional <br /> source by the City. <br /> 2. Industrial fluids or any other objectionable substances are handled in such a <br /> fashion as to create an actual or potential hazard to the public water system. <br /> This shall include the handling of process waters and waters originating from the <br /> utility system that have been subject to deterioration in quality. <br /> 3. Internal cross connections that cannot be permanently corrected and controlled. <br /> 4. Intricate plumbing and piping arrangements. <br /> 5. Where entry to all portions of the premises is not readily accessible for <br /> inspections purposes, making it impracticable or impossible to ascertain whether <br /> or not dangerous cross connections exist. <br /> B. Type of Backflow Protection. The type of protective assembly required under subsection <br /> 38.38(A) shall depend upon the degree of hazard that exists. <br /> 1. The public water system shall be protected by an approved air gap separation, or <br /> a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly if approved by the <br /> Director, on each service to the premises for the following degrees of hazard. <br /> a. In the case of any premises where there is an auxiliary water supply. <br /> b.

Examples of premises where these <br /> conditions will exist include sewage treatment plants, sewage pumping <br /> stations, chemical manufacturing plants, hospitals, mortuaries, and <br /> plating plants. <br /> c. In the case of any premises where there are cross connections, either <br /> actual or potential. <br /> d.
