Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-610.660 - Cross-Connection Control and Protection of the Reclaimed Water Supply
(1) No
cross-connections to potable water systems shall be allowed
(2) For all systems, there shall be readily
identifiable "non-potable" or "do not drink" notices, marking, or coding on
application/distribution facilities and appurtenances.
(3) Protection of Reclaimed Water Supply.
(a) The return of reclaimed water to the
reclaimed water distribution system after the reclaimed water has been
delivered to an industrial facility is prohibited. This prohibition shall not
apply to industrial sites which were using reclaimed water before January 1,
1996, or which were identified as future users of reclaimed water in a complete
permit application received by the Department before January 1, 1996.
(b) The permittee shall conduct an evaluation
of the potential for cross-connections and backflow to the reclaimed water
distribution system. This analysis shall include an evaluation of the types of
substances present at the industrial site which could potentially backflow into
the reclaimed water system and the risk associated with possible backflow. The
applicant shall evaluate the need for backflow prevention devices on the
reclaimed water connection to the industrial facility. This analysis shall be
included in the engineering report. A backflow prevention device shall be
provided on the reclaimed water service connection to the industrial site,
unless the evaluation in the engineering report provides reasonable assurances
that there is minimal risk of cross-connection or backflow with contamination
of the reclaimed water supply. This requirement for backflow prevention devices
shall not apply to industrial sites which were using reclaimed water before
January 1, 1996 or which were identified as future users of reclaimed water in
a complete permit application received by the Department before January 1,
1996.
