O.A.C. Chapter 3745-95 requires the public water supplier to protect the public water system from cross-connections and prevent backflow situations. The public water supplier must conduct cross-connection control inspections of their water customer's property to evaluate cross-connection hazards.
(a) No person shall install or maintain a water service connection to any premises where actual or potential cross-connections to the City Water System may exist unless such actual or potential cross-connections are abated or controlled to the satisfaction of the City; and
(b) No person shall install or maintain a connection between the City Water System and an auxiliary water system unless the auxiliary water system, the method of connection and the use of such system have been approved by the Water Treatment Plant Operator and by the director as required by R.C. § 6109.13.
