Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program
|
|
Violation:
The cross-connection control program listed the non-testable backflow prevention devices with an inspection date column where the staff wrote N/A for not applicable. All air gaps, double check valves with intermediate vents, and atmospheric vacuum breakers were not included in a periodic inspection schedule. In addition, the listing described the Watts N9C as pressure vacuum breaker for non-continuous pressure applications; the Watts N9C is a double check valve with intermediate vents for continuous pressure applications.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections.
