February 2, 1999
3. These standards are supplemental to and do not supersede or

E. Administration. The Water and Sewer Division of the City of
Fayetteville shall be responsible for administration of this Section and evaluating the
hazards inherent in supplying a customer's water system.
F. Backflow Prevention.
1. Evaluation of Hazards. The Water and Sewer Division shall
determine whether solid, liquid, or gaseous pollutants or contaminants are, or may
be, handled and/or used on the customer's premises in such a manner as to possibly
contaminate the public water system.
2. Customer Installation of BFP. When a hazard or potential hazard
to the public water system is found on the customer's premises, the customer shall
be required to install an approved backflow prevention assembly (BFP), or an air
gap, at each public water service connection to the premises.
3. Type of BFP.
a. The type of BFP required shall depend on the degree of hazard involved.
b. Any backflow prevention assembly required herein shall

4. Degree of Hazard. The degree of hazard shall be as determined
as set forth in AWWA M- 14 manual or as described below:
a. In the case of any premise where there is an auxiliary water
supply connected to the plumbing system, the public water system shall be protected
from the possibility of backflow by a reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention
assembly (RP) at the service connection.
b. In the case of any premise where substances are handled
and/or used that are objectionable, but not hazardous to human health, and the
likelihood exists of it being introduced into the public water system by virtue of a
backflow occurrence, the public water system shall be protected by an air gap or
approved double check valve assembly (DC).
Page 4
Ordinance No. 4 14 0
February 2, 1999
c. In the case of any premise where there is any material
hazardous to human health, which is handled and/or used in such a fashion as to
create an actual or potential threat to the public water system by virtue of a backflow
occurrence, the public water system shall be protected by an air gap or an approved
reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention assembly (RP).
d. In the case of any premise where there are unprotected
cross-connections, either actual or potential, the public water system shall be
protected by an approved reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention assembly
(RP) or an air gap at the service connection.
e. In the case of any premise where, because of security
requirements or other prohibitions or restrictions, it is impossible or impractical to
make a complete cross-connection survey, the public water system shall be protected
by the installation of an approved reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention
assembly (RP) or an air gap at the service connection.
G. Noncompliance/Emergencies.
1. Violation/Notice. Upon discovery of any protective device
required by this Section which has not been installed, or is defective, or has been
removed, or altered, or relocated, or bypassed, (except emergency situations), written
notice shall be given to the customer. Such notice shall set forth the violation, the
remedy required, and the time frame in which the violation shall be remedied.
2. Water Service Discontinued.
a. If violations are not corrected by the date and time as stated
on the notice, the water supply will be discontinued by the Water and Sewer
Division.
b. Discontinued water service shall not be resumed until
conditions at the customer's premises have been abated or corrected to the
satisfaction of the Water and Sewer Division.
3, No Water Service Connection. No water service connection
shall be installed on the premises of any customer unless the public potable water
system is protected as required by this Section.
4. Emergency. In emergency situations when the public potable
water supply is being contaminated or is in immediate danger of contamination, the
Page 5
Ordinance No. 4140
February 2, 1999
water service shall be discontinued by the Water and Sewer Division immediately
without notice
I. Right of Entry. For the purpose of making any inspections or
discharging the duties imposed by this Section, the Water and Sewer Division of the
City of Fayetteville, the State Health Department, and/or plumbing inspector shall
have the right to enter upon the premises of any customer. Each customer, as a
condition of the continued delivery to his premises of water from the public water
supply, shall be considered as having stated his consent to the entry upon his premise
of the Water and Sewer Division of the City of Fayetteville, the State Health
Department, and/or plumbing inspector for the purpose stated herein.
H. Ownership. Backflow prevention assemblies required by this Section
will be installed downstream of the water meter and are owned by, and are the
responsibility of the customer of the water utility.
1. Installation and Costs. Customers of the city water utility requiring
backflow prevention assemblies shall pay all costs associated with installation of the
appropriate size and type of backflow preventer under private contract. Backflow
prevention assemblies shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the
City ofFayetteville's Cross-Connection Control Program: Handbook of Policies and
Procedures. . The Water and Sewer Division shall review and approve all plans for
placement of backflow preventers prior to installation. Backflow prevention
assemblies not installed in accordance with the requirements of the City of
Fayetteville's Cross-Connection Control Program: Handbook of Policies and
Procedures shall be corrected at the customer's expense.
J. Testing and Maintenance. The customer or the contractor responsible
for the installation of the backflow prevention assembly will notify the Water and
Sewer Division immediately after installation of the assembly so that it can be tested
and inspected. The Water and Sewer Division will inspect and test the backflow
prevention assembly within ten days of the installation date and annually thereafter.
In instances where the Water and Sewer Division, the City of Fayetteville, and/or the
plumbing inspector deems the hazard to be great enough, testing may be required at
more frequent intervals. All costs of testing shall be paid by the customer. Any
repairs required as a result of inspections or testing shall be arranged for and paid by
the customer through private contract with a certified Assembly Repair Technician.
Records of inspections, testing, and/or repairs to backflow preventers shall be kept
by the Water and Sewer Division and/or City of Fayetteville and made available to
the State Health Department upon request.
