A copy of the paperwork needs to be kept on file at Wendell City Hall
Please make sure that you use a State Licensed Backflow Prevention tester.
All irrigation systems supplied by public water require a plumbing permit before installation. All piping and materials upstream of (before) the backflow prevention assembly must be of a type which is approved by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials.
For more information on backflow prevention, google backflow or cross connection. You will find a wealth of information on this topic.
Cross-Connection & Backflow
Any connection between drinking water supply and any source of non-drinkable liquid, solid, or gas is considered a Cross-Connection .
When circumstances are just right, generally caused by unequal pressure, a non-drinkable substance can either be pushed or pulled into a drinking water supply. This is called Backflow.
We need and want our water supply to be safe, pure, and uncontaminated.
