(A) Intent. In compliance with the State of Arkansas Rules and Regulation Pertaining to Public Water Systems, Section VII.E, the city finds it necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the people served by the water division of the city utilities department to adopt cross-connection control standards which establish the requirements for the design, construction and maintenance of connections to the public water supply. These standards are supplemental to and do not supersede or modify the Arkansas State Plumbing Code and its latest revisions under which the city operates. This subchapter pertains to commercial and industrial establishments only. Single-family, residential dwelling units, unless involved in commercial operations, are exempt from the requirements of this subchapter except where they fall under the purview of the Arkansas State Plumbing Code.
(B) Purpose. The purposes of this subchapter are:
(1) To provide for the protection of the public potable water supply.
(2) To isolate at the service connection any actual or potential pollution or contamination within the consumer's premises and
(3) To provide a continuous, systematic and effective program of cross-connection control.
