Introduction  (a) The purpose of this Backflow and Cross Connection Control Ordinance (this "Ordinance") is to define the authority of TOWN OF LIBERTY(the "TOWN") as the water purveyor in the elimination of all cross connections within its public (b) This Ordinance shall apply to all users connected to the Towns public potable water supply regardless of whether the user is located within the boundaries of  potable water supply.  the Town or outside oft the' Town boundaries.  (c) This Ordinance will comply with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (PL93-523), the North Carolina State Administrative Code (15A NCAC 18C), and the North Carolina State Building Code (2018) as they pertain to cross connections witht the  public water supply. Sec. 1-2. Objectives of Ordinance  The specific objectives ofthis Ordinance are as follows:  (1) To protect the public potable water supply of the Town against actual or potential contamination by isolating within the consumer's water system contaminants or pollutants which could, under adverse conditions, backflow through uncontrolled (2) To eliminate or control existing cross connections, actual or potential, between the consumer's potable water system and nonpotable ori industrial piping system.  cross connections into the public water system.  -2-        (3) Toj provide a continuing inspection program ofcross connection control which will systematically and effectively control all actual or potential cross connections  which may be installed in the future.  Sec. 1-3. Responsibilities (a) Health agency  The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") has the responsibility for promulgating and enforcing laws, rules, regulations, and policies to be followed in carrying out an effective cross connection control program. DEQalso has the primary responsibility ofinsuring that the water purveyor operates the public potable water system free of actual or potential sanitary hazards, including unprotected cross connections. DEQ has the further responsibility of insuring that the water purveyor provides an approved water supply at the service connection to the consumer's water system and, further, that the water purveyor requires the installation, testing, and maintenance of an approved backflow prevention assembly on the service connection when  required. (b) Water purveyor  Except as otherwise provided in this Ordinance, the Town's responsibility to ensure a safe water supply begins at the source and is all of the public water distribution system, including the service connection, and ends at the point of delivery to the consumer's water system. In addition, the water purveyor shall exercise reasonable vigilance to insure that the consumer has taken the proper steps to protect the public potable water system. To insure that the proper precautions are taken, the Town is required to determine the degree ofhazard or potential hazard to the public potable water system; to determine the degree of protection required; and to ensure proper containment protection through an on- going inspection program. When it is determined that a backflow prevention assembly is required for the protection of the public system, the Town shall require the consumer, at the consumer's expense, to install an approved backflow prevention assembly at each service connection, to test immediately upon installation and thereafter at a frequency as determined by the County, to properly repair and maintain such assembly or assemblies and to keep adequate records of each test and subsequent maintenance and repair, including materials and/or  replacement parts. (c) Plumbing inspection  The building inspections department of the County and/or the Town has the responsibility to not only review building plans and inspect plumbing asi iti is installed; but, to prevent and prohibit cross connections from being designed and built into the plumbing system within its jurisdiction. Where the review of  building plans suggests or  -3-        indicates the potential for cross connections being made an integral part of the plumbing system, the plumbing inspector has the responsibility, under the state building code, to require that such cross connections be either eliminated or provided with backflow prevention equipment approved by the state building code. The plumbing inspector's responsibility begins at the point of delivery, downstream of the first installed backflow prevention assembly, and continues throughout the entire length of the consumer's water system. The inspector should inquire about the intended use of water at any point where it is suspected that a cross connection might be made or where one is actually called for by the plans. When such is discovered it shall be mandatory that a suitable, approved backflow prevention assembly approved by the state building code be required by the plans and be properly installed. The primary protection assembly for containment purposes only shall have approval from the Town, the state building code, and  DEQ. (d) Consumer  and  The consumer has the primary responsibility of preventing pollutants contaminants from entering the consumer's potable water system or the public potable water system. The consumer's responsibility starts at the point of delivery from the public potable water system and includes all of the consumer's water system. The consumer, at his own expense, shall install, operate, test, and maintain approved backflow prevention assemblies as directed by the Town. The consumer shall maintain accurate records of tests and repairs made to backflow prevention assemblies and shall maintain such records for a minimum period of three years. The records shall be on forms approved by the Town and shall include the list of materials or replacement parts used. Following any repair, overhaul, repiping or relocation of an assembly, the consumer shall have it tested to insure that it is in good operating condition and will prevent backflow. Tests, maintenance, and repairs of backflow prevention assemblies shall be made by a  certified backflow prevention assembly tester. (e) Certified backflow prevention assembly testers  When employed by the consumer to test, repair, overhaul, or maintain backflow prevention assemblies, a backflow prevention assembly tester will have the following responsibilities: The tester will be responsible for making competent inspections and for repairing or overhauling backflow prevention assemblies and making reports of such repair to the consumer and responsible authorities on forms approved by the Town. The tester shall include the list of materials or replacement parts used. The tester shall be equipped with and be competent to use all the necessary tools, gauges, manometers and other equipment necessary to properly test, repair, and maintain backflow prevention assemblies. It will be the tester's responsibility to insure that original manufactured parts are used in the repair of or replacement of parts in a backflow prevention assembly. It will be the tester's further responsibility not to change the design, material or operational  4-        characteristics of an assembly during repair or maintenance without prior approval of the Towri. A certified tester shall perform the work and be responsible for the competency and accuracy of all tests and reports. A certified tester shall provide a copy of all test and repair reports to the consumer and to the Towri utilities department within ten business days of any completed test or repair work. A certified tester shall maintain such records for a minimum period of three years. All certified backflow prevention assembly testers must obtain and employ backflow prevention assembly test equipment which has been evaluated and/or approved by the Towri. All test equipment shall be registered with the Towri utilities department. All test equipment shall be checked for accuracy annually, at a minimum, calibrated, if necessary, and certified to the Towri as to such calibration, employing an accuracy/calibration method acceptable to the Towri. All certified backflow prevention assembly testers must become re- certified every two years through an approved backflow prevention certification  program. Sec.1-4. Definitions.
