CROSS CONNECTIONS Sec. 126-221. Purpose of division. The provisions of Wis. Admin. Code § NR 811.09810.15 and Wis. Admin. Code § COMM 82.41SPS 382.41 require protection of the public water system from contaminants due to backflow of contaminants through the water service connection, and the state department of natural resources and department of health and family services require the maintenance of a continuing program of cross connection control which will systematically and effectively prevent the contamination of all potable water systems. Therefore, this division is created to prevent such contamination. (Code 1986, § 13.06(1)) Sec. 126-222. Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this division, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: Cross connection means any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate systems, one of which contains potable water from the city water system, and the other water from a private source, water of unknown or questionable safety, or steam, gases or chemicals, whereby there may be a flow from one system to the other, the direction of flow depending on the pressure differential between the two systems. (Code 1986, § 13.06(2)) Sec. 126-223. Cross connections prohibited. No person shall establish or permit to be established or maintain or permit to be maintained any unprotected cross connection. No interconnection shall be established whereby potable water from a private, auxiliary or emergency water supply other than the regular public water supply of the city may enter the city's supply or distribution system, unless such private, auxiliary or emergency water supply and the method of connection and use of such supply have been approved by the city water utility and by the state department of natural resources in accordance with Wis. Admin. Code § NR 811.09(2).Cross connections shall be protected as required in Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 382.41. (Code 1986, § 13.06(3)) Sec. 126-224. Inspections. a). The water utility superintendent shall cause inspections to be made of all properties served by the public water system where cross connections with the public water system are possible. The frequency of inspections and reinspections based on potential health hazards involved shall be as established by the utilities utility and as approved by the state department of natural resources.as required in Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 382.41. b). Upon presentation of credentials, a representative of the water utility shall have the right to request entry, at any reasonable time, to property served by a connection to the public water system for the purpose of inspecting the property for unprotected cross connections. Refusing entry to such utility representative shall be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under Sec. 126-225. If entry is refused, a special inspection warrant may be obtained under Wisconsin Statutes, Section 66.0119. c). Any unprotected cross connection identified by the inspection shall be promptly corrected. Failure to promptly correct an unprotected cross connection shall be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under Sec. 126-225. (Code 1986, § 13.06(4)) Sec. 126-225. Authority to discontinue water service. The water utility may discontinue water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of this division exists, and may take such other precautionary measures necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water system. Water service shall be discontinued only after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing under Wis. Stats. ch. 68, except as provided in section 126-226. Water service to such property shall not be restored until the unprotected cross connection has been eliminated. (Code 1986, § 13.06(5)) Sec. 126-226. Emergency discontinuance of water service. If it is determined by the water utility that an unprotected cross connection or an emergency endangers public health, safety or welfare and requires immediate action, and a written finding to that effect is filed with the city clerk-treasurer and delivered to the customer's premises, water service may be immediately discontinued. The customer shall have an opportunity for hearing under Wis. Stats. ch. 68 within ten days of such emergency discontinuance. Water service shall not be restored until the unprotected cross connection has been eliminated. (Code 1986, § 13.06(6)) Sec. 126-227. Applicability of state plumbing code.
