Executive Summary:
This proposed change has the potential to impact most of our industrial and commercial water customers that have backflow prevention or cross-connection devices, as well as any future installation of these devices. The proposed changes are to Flagstaff City Code 7-03-001-0015. These changes will streamline code language to increase clarity and reduce redundancy. These changes will make code easier to understand and provide better guidance to the public as to the expectation of the cross-connection program. Flagstaff Water Services has conducted outreach to customers that may be impacted by the cross-connection changes and the general public through individual email, information included in customer water bills, a notice published in the Arizona Daily Sun, information published on Flagstaff Water Services website, and in a presentation to the Water Commission. Staff also conducted a public on-line meeting to address questions/comments to the cross-connection changes. These recommended code changes will serve to bring clarity to the City Code, and ensure staff's consistency in administering the program.
