(A) The purpose of this division is:
(1) To protect the town’s water system from the possibility of contamination, or pollution, due to back siphonage or back pressure, by isolating within the customer’s internal distribution system, or the customer’s private water systems such contaminants or pollutants which could backflow into the town’s water system;
(2) To define the authority of the town to eliminate cross-connections, new or existing, within its water system; and
(3) To provide a continuing program of cross-connection control which will systematically, and effectively, minimize any actual, or potential, hazardous cross-connections that may be installed in the future.
(B) This division may also be referred to as the town’s “Policy for Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control” (the “policy”).
