From: People Gas Franchise Committee
To: Atlantic Beach Commission
Subject: Up date report of Committee actions at meeting on 3/30/00
The committee reviewed the last response from Peoples Gas dated 2/3/00. This response went
backward to the earlier proposals, not forward and did not address the latest input sent from
Atlantic Beach Franchise Committee.
In addition the Committee reviewed the recent Franchise agreement that Peoples Gas had signed
with the City of North Miami Beach on 12/27/99. After discussion the Committee requested the
City Attorney to prepare and provide a new purposed Franchise agreement for the Committee to
review NLT 4/20/00. Once this is reviewed and any corrections/comments added or deleted the
purposed Franchise agreement (including those areas worth inclusion from the City of North
Miami Beach agreement) will be once again forwarded to Peoples Gas for Action.

CITY STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Agreement with City of Jacksonville for Sherry Drive
Reconstruction
DATE: March 31, 2000
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Hanson Ci. u . s .►
BACKGROUND: The City's Interlocal Agreement with Jacksonville calls for
Jacksonville to "provide for the repairing and resurfacing of
Sheny Drive in Atlantic Beach . . .". A considerable
difference of opinion had existed for several years between
the two cities over the extent of repairs. Jacksonville's
opinion was that this obligation included only a resurfacing
and minor patching whereas Atlantic Beach's contention was
that the job required a complete rebuild of the road from the
base up.
• In December of 1999 Mayor Meserve reached a verbal
agreement with Mayor Delaney that Jacksonville's obligation
to Atlantic Beach could be satisfied by payment of$225,000.
Any additional funding needed to completely repair/rebuild of
Sheny Drive would be paid by the City of Atlantic Beach.
The City of Jacksonville adopted an ordinance earlier this
year approving this agreement for $225,000 and authorizing
that an additional agreement between the Cities of Atlantic
Beach and Jacksonville be executed for same.
The City of Jacksonville has prepared the attached agreement
which has been reviewed and approved by City Attorney Alan
Jensen.
BUDGET: Funding for the Core City Project includes the additional cost
to Atlantic Beach for the rebuilding of Sherry Drive.
Engineers working on behalf of the City of Atlantic Beach in
1997 estimated the cost for the Sherry Drive rebuild to be
$336,367.
• RECOMMENDATION: That the Mayor and Commission of Atlantic Beach authorize
• execution of the Agreement with the City of Jacksonville
accepting $225,000 to satisfy their obligation under the
Interlocal Agreement for Sherry Drive repair and resurfacing.

(7-8 PM).this approach accounted for almost ..t the._._r

on a regular basis.
4_ The pedestrian traffic at this location is unusually high (at least during
• the Friday night count conducted on April 9th). The 410 pedestrians counted
during the peak hour dia not include those that crossed outside the
i RGIJGu1U1r or those riding bicycles,skateboarding, rollerblading, etc.
Aprra:d dly 75 percent of the pedestrian activity during the peak hour was
crossing and south

s AA rovimoiolu two thirds of the eL -thirds vehicular volumes turn left or right with
one-third traveling through inters c.t__ n._.
through the •••.claac.uvn. PG►idUSe 2 out of 3 vehicles are
turning anyway, a four -;.may sop should

For these reasons(especially in response to the heavy pedes:nen traffic
p.vo� ,an
crossing during the evening hours at this location), a four -way stop is
recommended when the signal is removed.

April 10, 2000
Beach Water Sampling; Attached for your information is a copy of the most recent
Beach Water Sampling Report (dated 3/21/00) for water adjacent to Atlantic Beach. As
usual, all readings taken in the vicinity of Atlantic Beach are listed as "good" for water
quality.
Negotiations with the JTA on the Flyover; Negotiations with JTA are nearing
completion for the Flyover Project. The most recent correspondence has indicated a
willingness to swap property owned by the City of Atlantic Beach required for the
additional retention basin (next to our Jasmine Street basin) for the residual triangular
shaped property on the northwest side of the Atlantic/Mayport Interchange. JTA will
modify the shape of the retention basin farther north on Mayport Road and provide a
walkway around the pond. Additional landscaping and irrigation will also be added. The
landscape berm will be eliminated and landscaping extended north through the area of
First Street. Also, JTA (working with the FDOT) will add a sidewalk on the north side
of Atlantic Boulevard as part of the Flyover Construction Project. Adequate shoulders
will exist for bicycle use, although some question still remains about the specific
delineation as a bicycle lane. Landscaping plans are being revised in accordance with all
• of the project changes over the last several months and a final copy should be available
for review within the next few days.

OUTLOOK OF WATER QUALITY
(03-21-00)
The Beach Water Sampling and Public Notification Study was developed by the Florida Department of
Health and the Duval County Health Department in conjunction with the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The study's purpose is to determine levels of bacteria in the surf. Dry and
wet weather conditions will be analyzed between July 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000. Bacterial data from
this study will be combined with rainfall data from sampling events to develop a correlation between
the amount of rainfall and increases in bacterial levels. This research is based on the amount
Enterococci bacteria found per 100 ml of marine water.
According to the EPA studies on bacteria, the density of the Entercocci sp bacteria as an indicator
group in seawater chn; rc the best relationship to swimming-associated gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis
illnesses were significantly associated with polluted water anddid show a functional relationship to
• water quality measured with this bacterial indicator. For more information on this study contact
Patricia Frank, RN, Public Information Officer, at 630-3254.

CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Cross-Connection Control Policy Manual and Program
SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy, P.E./Director of Public Works
DATE: April 4, 2000
BACKGROUND: On October 12, 1992 the City Commission enacted an
ordinance to address cross-connections and backflow devices.
Within the City Code, Section 22-42 defines a "Cross-
Connection" and Section 22-43 discusses cross-connections
and backflow devices. Section 22-43(e) refers to the "latest
• edition of the City of Atlantic Beach Cross-Connection Control
Policy Manual" and we have never updated the manual we
adopted from the City of Jacksonville. We have attached a draft
version for City Commission approval.
On March 6, 2000 we hired Ms. Denise Helms as a Cross-
Connection Administrator/GIS Technician, as authorized by the
City Commission last year. Her duties will involve the education
of businesses and homeowners requiring new or replacement
backflow prevention devices and a proactive enforcement of this
program. After this program is running smoothly, she will be
trained to update our recently acquired Geographic Information
System (GIS). We are attaching a brief overview of cross-
connections.
RECOMMENDATION: City Commission to approve revised Cross-Connection Control

OVERVIEW OF CROSS-CONNECTIONS
WHAT IS A CROSS-CONNECTION?
ANY ARRANGEMENT OF PIPES,FITTINGS,FIXTURES OR DEVICES THAT
CONNECTS A NON-POTABLE SYSTEM TO A POTABLE WATER SYSTEM
THROUGH WHICH BACKFLOW COULD OCCUR.
WHY DO WE NEED BACKFLOW PREVENTERS?
A BACKFLOW PREVENTER IS A MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY THAT WILL
PROHIBIT THE BACKFLOW OF WATER OR ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE INTO
THE POTABLE WATER SUPPLY, THUS ELIMINATING THE THREAT OF
. CONTAMINATION.
• WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR CROSS-CONNECTION?
SINCE FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES WATER SUPPLIERS TO PROTECT WATER
SYSTEMS FROM CONTAMINATION, OUR PLAN IS TO BRING COMMERCIAL
AND RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY
ORDINANCE, SEC. 22-43 CROSS-CONNECTIONS; BACKFLOW DEVICES.
INSPECTIONS WILL BE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF
HAZARD AND THE TYPE OF BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE NECESSARY
TO PROTECT THE WATER SYSTEM. THIS PLAN WILL REQUIRE A
COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN SEVERAL CITY DEPARTMENTS.

American Water Works Association
POLICY ON CROSS-CONNECTIONS
A statement adopted by Board of Directors on Jan. 26, 1970 and Revised June 24, 1979
The American Water Works Association recognizes that the water purveyor has a
responsibility to provide its customers at the service connection with water that is safe under all
foreseeable circumstances. Thus, in the exercise of this responsibility, the water purveyor must
take reasonable precaution to protect the community distribution system from the hazards
originating on the premises of its customers that may degrade the water in the community
distribution system.
It is realized that cross-connection control and plumbing inspections on premises of its
customers are regulatory in nature and should be handled through the rules, regulations, and
recommendations of the health authority or the plumbing-code enforcing agencies having
jurisdiction. The water purveyor, however, should be aware of any situation requiring inspection
and/or re-inspections necessary to detect hazardous conditions resulting from cross-connections.
If, in the opinion of the utility, effective measures consistent with the degree of hazard have not
been taken by the regulatory agency, the water purveyor should take such measures as he may
deem necessary to ensure that the community distribution system is protected from contamination.
• Such action would include the installation of a backflow prevention device, consistent with the
degree of hazard, at the service connection, or discontinuance of the service.
•
INTRODUCTION
• A cross-connection is defined in the rules of the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER),
of the State of Florida, Chapter 17-22 as "Any physical arrangement whereby a public water supply
is connected, directly or indirectly with any other water supply system, sewer, drain, conduit, pool,
storage reservoir, plumbing fixture, or other device which contains or may contain contaminated
water, sewage or other waste or liquid of unknown or unsafe quality which may be capable of
imparting contamination to the public water supply as the result of backflow. By-pass
arrangements,jumper connections, removable sections, swivel or changeable devices and other
temporary or permanent devices through which or because of which backflow could occur are
considered to be cross-connections." Consequently, either cross-connections or the chance of
backflow must be eliminated to prevent degrading the high quality of water that water purveyors
strive to maintain.
Cross-connection control programs, as administered by water purveyors, are relatively new to
Florida. Initially, the primary responsibility for safeguarding water quality on private property was
left to local health agencies and building and inspection departments. Then, beginning with the
Safe Drinking Water Act, signed by President Ford on December 16, 1974, a chain of laws and
regulations evolved that resulted in the State requirement (Florida Safe Drinking Water Act,
Sections 403.850-403.864, Florida Statutes) for all the public water systems to have a cross-
connection control program. Contained within the Rules of Department of Environmental
Regulation (DER), Chapter 17-22, the State of Florida, on November 9, 1977, adopted the following
policy:
"Community water systems are required to establish a routine cross-connection program for the
• purpose of detecting and preventing cross-connections that create an imminent and substantial
danger to the public health by and from contamination due to the cross-connection. Upon detection
of a prohibited cross-connection, both community and non-community water systems shall either
eliminate the cross-connection by installation of an appropriate backflow prevention device
acceptable to the Department (DER) or discontinue service until the contaminate source is
eliminated."(17-22.107(4)b., Florida Administrative Code.)
This statement was later updated to include that "Such program shall be developed utilizing
accepted practices of the American Water Works Association guidelines as set forth in AWWA
manuals m14, Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control'and 'Cross-Connections and
Backflow Prevention'2nd Edition."
In compliance with this mandate, the following is the • • : : - :- -, = --- = '.: '-
Works, Watcr Scrviccs Division's City of Atlantic Beach, Public Works Department, Water
Distribution Division's Policy on Cross-Connection Control.
We urge you to acquaint yourself with the policies and information presented in this manual. It is
only through the education and commitment of persons like yourself that we can control the
hazards presented by cross-connections within our public drinking water supply. The Public Works
Department stands behind this policy and its enforcement and will offer its assistance to all who
share the responsibility of safe water.

PART 1 — Overview
1.01 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to protect the public potable water supply of the City of Jacksonville
City of Atlantic Beach from the possibility of contamination. To promote the elimination or control
of existing cross-connections, actual or potential, between its customers' inplant plumbing fixtures
and industrial piping and the public water supply; and to provide for the maintenance of a conti-
nuing program of cross-connection control which will systematically and effectively prevent the
contamination of the potable water distribution system. More exactly, the Policy is intended to
prevent delivered water— water that has passed beyond the public water system and into the
private distribution systems of consumers — from re-entering the public distribution system and
being subsequently delivered to consumers and to allow persons active in piping design and
installation to incorporate and install appropriate backflow prevention devices correctly.
1.02 CAUSES OF BACKFLOW
The causes of backflow cannot usually be eliminated completely since backflow is often initiated
by accidents or unexpected circumstances. However, some causes of backflow can be partially
controlled by good design and informed maintenance. Listed below are the major causes of
backflow as outlined under the two types of backflow— backsiphonage and backpressure.
A. BACKSIPHONAGE - Backsiphonage is caused by reduced or negative pressure being
created in the supply piping. The principal causes of backsiphonage are:
1. Line repair or break which is lower than a service point. This will allow negative
pressures to be created by water trying to flow to a lower point in the system.
2. Undersized piping if water is withdrawn from a pipe at a very high velocity, the
pressure in the pipe is reduced and the pressure differential created can cause water
to flow into the pipe from a contaminated source.
3. Lowered pressure in water main due to high water withdrawal rate such as fire
fighting, water main flushing, or water main breaks.
4. Reduced supply main pressure on suction side of a booster pump.
B. BACKPRESSURE - Backpressure may cause backflow to occur where a potable water
system is connected to a non-potable system of piping, and the pressure in the non-potable
system exceeds that in the potable system. The principal causes of backpressure are:
1. Booster pump systems designed without backflow prevention devices.
2. Potable water connections to boilers and other pressure systems without backflow
prevention devices.
1111
(2)
3. Connections with another system which may, at times, have a higher pressure.
4. Water stored in tanks or plumbing systems which by virtue of their elevation would
i create head sufficient to cause backflow if pressure were lowered in the public
system.
PART 2 — Responsibility
2.01 CROSS-CONNECTION PROGRAM
The responsibilities of the Cities' Cross-Connection Control Program in accord with State Law
Chapter 17-22 are as follows:
1. To protect the City of Jacksonville City of Atlantic Beach Public Water Supply from the
possibility of contamination by isolating within its consumers' private water systems,
contaminants or pollutants which could, under adverse conditions, backflow through
uncontrolled cross-connections into the public water system.
2. To eliminate or control existing cross-connections, actual or potential, between the
consumer's in-plant potable water system(s) and non-potable water system(s) plumbing
fixtures, and industrial piping systems.
3. To provide a continuing inspection program of cross-connection control, which will
systematically and effectively control all actual or potential cross-connections which may be
• installed in the future.
2.02 CUSTOMERS
The customer's responsibility starts at the point of delivery from the public potable water system
and includes all of his water systems. The customer, at his own expense, shall install, operate, test
and maintain approved backflow prevention devices, as directed by the City of Jacksonville Watcr
Services Division City of Atlantic Beach Water Distribution Division. The customer shall maintain
accurate records of tests and repairs made to backflow prevention devices and provide the Water
Services Division Water Distribution Division with copies of such records. The records shall be on
forms approved or provided by the Water Services Division Water Distribution Division. In the
event of accidental pollution or contamination of the public or consumer's potable water system due
to backflow on or from customer's premises, the owner shall promptly take steps to confine further
spread of pollution or contamination within the customer's premises, and shall immediately notify
the : - - -••-- - Water Distribution Division of the hazardous condition.
2.03 BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE INSTALLERS
The installer's responsibility is to make proper installation of backflow prevention devices in
accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and any additional instructions
approved by the • : -- =- •• -, : - - ••--- - City of Atlantic Beach, Public Works
Department.
•
(3)
Installer is also responsible to make sure a device is working properly when it is installed, and is
required to furnish the following information to the Cross-Connection Control Program immediately
. after a reduced pressure principle backflow preventer (RP), double check valve assembly (DCVA)
or pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is installed: 1) service address where device is located, 2)
owner, 3) description of device's location and size, 4) date of installation, 5) type of device, 6)
manufacturer, 7) model number, and 8) serial number. All RP, DCVA, and PVB are required to be
tested following installation by a certified backflow prevention device technician.
PART 3 — INSPECTIONS
3.0t FREQUENCY
Due to changes in models or components of equipment, methods of manufacturing and additions
to plants, buildings, etc., water use requirements undergo continual change. As a result, new
cross-connections may be installed and existing protection may be by-passed, removed, or
otherwise ineffective; therefore, an annual or biennial detailed inspection by the customer of all
water usage is required.
3.02 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTIONS
All new construction plans and specifications for industrial commercial facilities shall be reviewed
by the • = -=- • - - - 5•••-•:- City of Atlantic Beach's Public Works
Department to determine the degree of possible cross-connections hazard. At this time, backflow
prevention requirements in accordance with this policy will be made.
• 3.03 NEW AND EXISTING FACILITIES
In order to determine the degree of hazard to the public potable water system, a survey will be
made of the consumer's presently installed water system. This survey need not be a detailed in-
spection of the location or disposition of the water lines, but can be confined to establishing the
water uses on the premises, the existence of cross-connections, and the availability of auxiliary or
used water supplies. On site inspections are made of new and existing facilities and should any
devices or plumbing changes be required, a follow-up inspection will be made of the same facilities
at a later date.
PART 4— DEFINITIONS
AIR-GAP SEPARATION—The term air-gap separation shall mean a physical separation between
the free-flowing discharge end of a potable water supply pipeline and an open or non-pressure
receiving vessel. An approved air-gap separation shall be a distance of at least two (2) times the

- - e -- - - -- -- - --
City,of JacksonviHo DIVISION DIRECTOR, WATER DISTRIBUTION DIVISION: The Division
Director of the Water Distribution Division of the City of Atlantic Beach is invested with the authority
and responsibility for the implementation of an effective cross-connection program and for the
enforcement of the provisions of this policy.
CONTAMINATION: An impairment of the quality of the potable water by any solid, liquid, or
gaseous compounds or mixtures to a degree which would create an imminent danger to the public
health, or would create an unacceptable taste, odor or color to the potable water.
CROSS-CONNECTION: Any physical connection or arrangement of piping or fixtures between
two otherwise separate piping systems, one of which contains potable water and the other non-
potable water or industrial fluids of questionable safety, through which, or because of which,
backflow or backsiphonage may occur into the potable water system. A water service connection
between a public potable water distribution system and a customer's water distribution system
which is cross-connected to a contaminated fixture, industrial fluid system or with potentially
contaminated supply or auxiliary water system, constitutes one type of cross-connection. Other
• types of cross-connections include connectors such as swing connections, removable sections,
four-way plug valves, spools, dummy sections of pipe, swivel or changeover devices, sliding
multipart tube, solid connections, etc.
DOUBLE CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY: An assembly composed of two single, independently
acting, check valves*, including tightly closing shut-off valves located at each end of the assembly.
*A valve that is drip-tight in the normal direction of flow when the inlet pressure is one p.s.i. and the
outlet pressure is zero. The check valve shall permit no leakage in a direction reverse to the
normal flow. The closure element(e.g., clapper) shall be internally weighted or otherwise internally
loaded to promote rapid and positive closure and suitable connections for testing the watertightness
of each check valve.
HAZARD-DEGREE OF: The term degree of hazard is a qualification of what potential and actual
harm may result from cross-connections within a water using facility. Establishing the degree of
hazard is directly related to the type and toxicity of contaminates that could feasiblely enter the
public water supply system and is determined by the Water Services Division Water Distribution
Division.
HAZARD-HEALTH: The term health hazard shall mean an actual or potential threat of con-
tamination or pollution of a physical or toxic nature to the public potable water system or the
consumer's potable water system to such a degree or intensity that there would be a danger to
health.
•
(6)
INDUSTRIAL PIPING SYSTEM - CONSUMER'S: The term consumer's industrial piping system
shall mean any system used by the consumer for transmission of or to store any fluid, solid or
gaseous substance other than an approved water supply. Such a system would include all pipes,
• conduits, tanks, receptacles, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances to produce, convey or store
substances which are or may be polluted or contaminated.
REDUCED PRESSURE BACKFLOW PREVENTER: A device containing within its structure a
minimum of two independently acting, approved check valves, together with an automatically
operating pressure differential relief valve located between the two check valves. The first check
valve reduces the supply pressure a predetermined amount so that during normal flow and at
cessation of normal flow the pressure between the check valves shall be less than the supply
pressure. In case of leakage of either check valve, the differential relief valve, by discharging to
atmosphere, shall operate to maintain the pressure between the check valves less than the supply
pressure. The unit shall include tightly closing shut-off valves located at each end of the device,
and each device shall be fitted with properly located test cocks.
VACUUM BREAKER - PRESSURE TYPE: A pressure vacuum breaker is similar to an at-
mospheric vacuum breaker except that the checking unit "poppet valve" is activated by a spring.
This type of vacuum breaker does not require a negative pressure to react and can be used on a
pressure side of a valve.
WATER PURVEYOR: The term water purveyor shall mean the owner or operator of the public
potable water system supplying an approved water supply to the public. The utility shall be one
that is operating under a valid permit from the Department of Environmental Regulation. As used
herein the terms water purveyor and City's Water Services Division Water Distribution Division may
be used synonymously.
• WATER SYSTEM - CUSTOMER'S: The term customer's water system shall include any water
system located on the consumer's premises, whether supplied by a public potable water system
or an auxiliary water supply. The system or systems may be either a potable water system or an
industrial piping system.
WATER-USED: Any water supplied by a Water Purveyor from a public potable water system to
a customer's water system after it has passed through the point of delivery and is no longer under
the sanitary control of the Water Purveyor.

fields, cemeteries)
Others specified by the Water Distribution Division
* INSTALLATIONS REQUIRING CONTINUOUS SERVICE: PARALLEL INSTALLATION
All backflow prevention devices with test cocks are required to be tested with a minimum frequency
of once per year. Testing requires a water shutdown usually lasting five (5)to twenty (20) minutes.
For facilities that require an uninterrupted supply of water, and when it is not possible to provide
water service from two separate meters, provisions shall be made for a "parallel installation" of
backflow prevention devices.
Multi-story buildings which have a number of flushometer toilets should be equipped with parallel
devices. Experience has shown if the water supply is shut off to this type of building, flushometers
may have to be manually reset.
During testing one device is left on while the other is being tested. Usually the two devices are
sized one device size smaller than the service line, e.g. one 2 inch device or two 1-1/2 inch
devices, one 8 inch device or two 6 inch devices.
The Water Scrvices Division Water Distribution Division will not accept an unprotected bypass
around a backflow preventer when the device is in need of testing, repair or replacement.
** HEALTH HAZARD; SYSTEM HAZARD; POLLUTIONAL HAZARD
"Health hazard" means any condition, device, or practice in a water system or its operation that
creates, or may create, a danger to the health and well-being of users. The word "severe" as used
to qualify "health hazard" means a hazard to the health of the user that could reasonably be
expected to result in significant morbidity or death. "System hazard" means a condition posing an
actual or potential threat of damage to the physical properties of the public water system or a
potable consumer's water system. "Pollutional hazard" means a condition through which an
aesthetically objectionable or degrading material not dangerous to health may enter the public
water system or a potable consumer's water system.
***EXTERMINATING COMPANIES
All tanks, tank trucks, and spraying apparatus used to convey pesticides in an exterminating
process are required to use only designated-protected potable water fill locations. Filling with
potable water at unspecified locations or private residences is prohibited. All filling locations will
consist of over-head piping arrangements with correctly installed pressure vacuum breakers. If,
for any reason, an overhead piping arrangement cannot be used, a reduce pressure zone backflow
preventer must be installed on the fill line. All filling locations must be approved by the Watcr
Scrvices Division Water Distribution Division.

NOTE: Single check valves will not be accepted as a means to protect the potability of drinking
water and therefore may only be used to prevent backflow which would effect the functioning of a
• plumbing system, such as to prevent recirculation of potable hot water. Where single check valves
are improperly used, they will be required to be replaced by an appropriate approved backflow
prevention device.
VACUUM BREAKERS (vacuum relief valves)designed to prevent collapse or implosion of a steam-
heated pressure vessel when being cooled are not acceptable devices for protection against
backflow in potable water lines.
PART 6 — Testing of Backflow Preventers
It shall be the duty of the customer-user at any premises where reduce pressure backflow
prevention devices (RP), double check valve assemblies (DCVA), and pressure vacuum breakers
(PVB) are installed to have thorough inspections and operational tests made at least once a year
or more often in those instances where inspections indicate a need. These inspections and tests
shall be at the expense of the water user and be performed by the device manufacturer's
representative, by Water Distribution Division personnel, or by a certified device technician. The
water purveyor will notify the customer-user when tests are required and supply the necessary test
forms and instructions. These forms will be completed and returned to the water purveyor by the
date indicated.
PART 7 — Penalties for Non-Compliance
• 7.01 TERMINATION OF SERVICE
A written notification detailing all cross-connections found during the inspection will be sent to the
owner or authorized agent of the owner of the building or premises, stating that corrections must
be made and setting a reasonable time for compliance. Upon failure of the owner or authorized
agent of the owner of the building or premises to have the defect(s) corrected by the specified time
the water purveyor shall cause the water service to the building or premises to be terminated. The
water purveyor shall cause discontinuance of water service if a required backflow prevention device
has been bypassed or failed to be tested or properly maintained as required by this policy
statement. The water purveyor shall also cause discontinuance of water service if an air-gap
separation system is compromised.
7.02 MONETARY PENALTIES -
fines of up to one hundred dollars or impfisonment of up to sixty days. Violations of the City Watcr
3hrall constitute a separate offcnac.
Violations of this policy, if not corrected after due notice, will be referred to the Code Enforcement
Board of the City of Atlantic Beach. Under Florida State Statute 162.09, the Code Enforcement
Board may impose fines of up to $250.00 per day for a first violation and $500.00 per day for a
• repeat violation.

Sec: 22-32. Connection of private water systems to city system prohibited.
• No person shall interconnect a privately owned water system to the city's water system.
(Code 1970, § 27-16)
Sec. 22-33. Prohibited acts.
No person shall connect or turn on any water service or tap or make any alteration to any
main or distribution pipe of the city's water system or in any way interfere with or molest any
of the wells,reservoirs, basins or water in the same, or permit any connection or tapping to be
made to the city's water system on his premises or the premises occupied by him or knowingly
use city water from unauthorized connections.
(Code 1970, § 27-17) •
Sec. 22.42. Definitions.
Cross connection means any physical arrangement whereby a public water supply is
connected, directly or indirectly, with any other water supply system, sewer, drain, lawn
sprinkler, conduit, pool, storage reservoir, plumbing fixtures, appliances, or other devices
which contain or may contain contaminated water,sewage or other waste or liquid of unknown
or unsafe quality which may be capable of imparting contamination to the public water supply
as the result of backflow. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections,
swivel or changeable devices and other temporary or permanent devices through which or
because of which backflow could occur are considered to be cross connections.
(Ord. No. 80-92-50, § 1, 10-12-92)
• Sec. ,22-43. Cross connections; backflow devices.
(a) No consumer of water from the city water system shall have a cross connection or
potential cross connection either inside or outside of any building or buildings without a
backflow prevention device being installed to prevent any and all backflow.
(b) Only the following are considered to be backflow prevention devices and shall be
installed in agreement with and under supervision of the supplier of water or his designated
representative:
(1) Air gap separation. A physical separation between the free-flowing discharge end of a
potable water supply pipeline and an open or nonpressure receiving vessel. This gap
must be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe_measuresd vertically above
the rim of the vessel and in no case less than one (1) inch.
(2) Reduced pressure backflow preventer. A device containing within its structure a min-
imum of two (2) independently acting, approved check valves, with an automatically
operating pressure differential relief valve located between the two (2) check valves
that will discharge to the atmosphere if the check valves should fail. This unit shall
include tightly closed shut-off valves located at each end of the device and each device
shall be fitted with properly located test cocks.
•
(23)
•
(3) Atmospheric vacuum breaker. This device is operated by atmospheric pressure in
combination with the force of gravity.The unit is designed to work on a vertical plane
only. The one moving part consists of a poppet valve which must be carefully sized to
•, the slide in a guided chamber and effectively shut off the reverse flow of water when
there is a negative pressure.
(4) Pressure vacuum breaker. This device is similar to an atmospheric vacuum breaker,
except that the checking unit "poppet valve' is activated by a spring and does not
require a negative pressure to react.
(5) Double check-valve assembly. An assembly composed of two (2) single, independently
acting drip-tight check valves, including tightly closing shut-off valves at each end
and suitable connections for testing the water tightness of each check valve.
(c) The city or its representatives with proper identification may enter at any time inside
or outside of any building or buildings for the purpose of checking for cross connections. If a
cross connection or potential cross connection is found, the city shall have the right to discon-
tinue water services until the problem has been corrected by elimination or until a proper
backflow prevention device has been installed.All backflow prevention devices will be checked
periodically by a city representative to insure proper operation.
(d) These provisions relative to a cross connection have been established for the protection
• of all the inhabitants of the city and to comply with Chapter 17-22.107(4), Florida Adminis-
trative Code.
(e) All water services and plumbing fixtures shall conform to the latest edition of the City
of Atlantic Beach Cross Connection Control Policy Manual.
