(A) All backflow prevention devices will be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and those furnished by the Director. Ownership, testing, and maintenance of the device will be the responsibility of the consumer. All reduced pressure backflow device assemblies must be installed in drainable pits wherever below ground installation is necessary. The installer is responsible to make sure a device is working properly when it is installed, and to make available all installation and testing information for approval by the Director.
(B) When it is not possible to interrupt water service, provisions shall be made for a “parallel installation” of backflow prevention devices. The Director will not accept an unprotected bypass around a backflow preventer when the device is in need of testing, repair, or replacement.
(C) The consumer shall, upon notification, install the appropriate containment device not to exceed the following time frame:
(1) High hazard: 60 days; or
(2) Moderate hazard: 90 days.
