(A) All consumers using toxic or hazardous liquids and/or all hospitals, mortuaries, wastewater treatment plants, laboratories and all other hazardous users install and maintain a reduced pressure principal backflow preventer in the main water line serving each building on the premises. The backflow preventer must be installed in an easily accessible location not subject to flooding or freezing.
(B) Reduced pressure principal backflow preventers shall not be installed below ground level.
(C) This subchapter does not supersede the Indiana Plumbing Code, IDEM Rule 327 I.A.C. 8-10, or any other applicable Building Code, but is intended to be supplementary to them.
(D) In addition to IDEM Rule 327 I.A.C. 8-10-4(c), from time to time certain specialized customer facilities will be required to install a backflow prevention device, as determined by the utility and Council by amendment to this subchapter.
(E) If, in the judgment of the utility, an approved backflow prevention device is necessary for the safety of the public water system, the utility shall give notice to the water consumer to install such an approved device immediately. The water consumer shall, at the customer’s own expense, promptly install such an approved device at a location and in a manner approved by the utility and shall have inspections and tests made of that device.
