Village of Fox Crossing, WI Public Water Supply Utility Regulations

No person shall make any connection of any private water service to the water facilities of the Utility District without first obtaining a permit for said connection. No person shall uncover or expose any water service lateral or water main or other appurtenances thereto, whether on private or public property, without first obtaining an inspection permit from the District.

The owner of residential, industrial or commercial real estate which is located within the Utility District service area wishing to obtain water service by connection to a Utility District water main shall indicate such intention to the District, in writing, by completing and filing with the District forms and questionnaires for that purpose as prepared by the District. The applicant shall provide fully all information required by the form that shall be signed by the owner of the property that is intended to be served by the proposed connection. The District and/or designated representative shall review each application and either grant or refuse permission to connect as the best interest of the Utility District may dictate. An application for a permit shall be deemed granted only when a written connection permit is issued by the District signed by an authorized representative of the District. No connection to a District water main shall be made except pursuant to the terms and conditions of the permit and the District's ordinances.

Installation requirements. Upon the issuance of a permit, the applicant shall be allowed the hookup or installation of a connection to water service as designated on the permit. The application shall contain information and notify the District of the intended time and place of the installation of the laterals or water connection. The permit holder shall give advance notice to the District at the time of installation and no water lateral installation shall be completed and covered without being inspected. At the time the connection is completed, the District's designated inspector shall inspect the connection and the lateral up to the building being connected. The Utility District will establish hookup and inspection fees related to these installation requirements. The inspection and hookup fees shall be paid at the time of the application for the connection to the District's facilities. A fee schedule shall be kept on file with the Clerk of the District and may be revised from time to time by the Village Board as necessary to cover costs and expenses.

Plumbing license required. Any connection to the District water main shall be made only by a licensed plumber, in full compliance with the connection permit and all applicable laws and regulations, and shall be subject to the District's inspection as provided herein.

Final inspection. The permit shall contain a final approval signature line that will be required to be signed before covering the water lateral installation. In the event that no inspection is made and the final approval is not obtained, the District shall have the right to disconnect any lateral not so inspected.

Denial of applications. If an application is denied, the Village Board shall specify, in writing, the reasons for the denial. After properly taking any corrective action which the reasons stated in the Village Board's denial may suggest, an applicant may renew his application. The Village Board may grant permission to connect subject to conditions that the applicant shall fulfill before the connection is made to which the applicant and the real property served by the proposed connection shall remain subject should the condition be continuing. All conditions shall be specified in the connection permit.

Wellhead protection. Any applications for permission to connect real estate which is located within 1,200 feet of a Utility District wellhead and/or upon which property any hazardous substances are presently stored or contained, or for which plans for storage or containment exist at the time of the application for permission to connect, shall disclose fully the precise nature, extent and manner of storage of the hazardous materials which are, or will be, stored or contained upon the property. Regarding such an application, the Village Board may grant permission to connect to a water main subject to a provision that should the District install a new well in the future, the property owner then shall remove any hazardous materials with containers upon his property whatever distance from the new wellhead is then required under the applicable state and federal laws and regulations necessary to protect the installation of the new wellhead.

The cost of said inspection shall be the obligation of the owner of the private system. All inspection fees shall be paid prior to connection to the District water facilities.

Upon acceptance of any private water facilities as defined above, the owner shall dedicate the facilities to the District, and in the case where the facilities are not located beneath a public roadway, the roadway shall be designated to the Village or an easement sufficient for the maintenance of the facilities shall be given to the District.

§ 325-33 Cross-connection control and backflow prevention.

Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

BACK SIPHONAGE

The flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the distribution pipes of the Utility District's potable water supply from any source caused by the sudden reduction of pressure in the Utility District potable water supply system.

BACKFLOW

The undesirable flow of water or mixtures of water and other liquids, gases or other substances under positive or reduced pressure into the Village of Fox Crossing water utility distribution pipes of the potable supply of water from any source(s).

BACKFLOW PREVENTER

A device or means designed to prevent backflow caused by back pressure or back siphonage. Most commonly categorized as air gap, reduced pressure principle backflow preventer, double check valve assembly, pressure vacuum breaker, atmospheric vacuum breaker, hose connection vacuum breaker, hose connection backflow preventer, backflow preventer with intermediate atmospheric vent, and barometric loop.

CROSS-CONNECTION

Any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate systems, one of which contains potable water from the Utility District and the other containing water from a private source, water of unknown or questionable safety, or steam, gases or chemicals, whereby there may be a flow depending on the pressure differential between the two systems.

Cross-connections prohibited. No person shall establish or permit to be established or maintain or permit to be maintained any cross-connection. No interconnection shall be established whereby potable water from a private, auxiliary or emergency water supply other than the public water supply of the Utility District may enter the supply or distribution system of the Utility District, unless such private, auxiliary or emergency water supply and the method of connection and use of such supply shall have been approved by the Utility District and by the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Ch. SPS 382, Wis. Adm. Code.

Inspections. It shall be the duty of the Utility District to cause inspections to be made of all properties serviced by the Utility District where cross-connection with the public water system is deemed possible. Residential properties and commercial properties like residential serviced by the Utility District shall be inspected on a ten-year interval, per Chs. SPS 382 and NR 811, Wis. Adm. Code. All other commercial, industrial and public authority properties serviced by the Utility District shall be inspected on a two-year interval. The Utility District will perform the cross-connection inspection of the owner's property that is required to be tested every 10 years under Chs. SPS 382 and NR 811, Wis. Adm. Code. If, in the opinion of the Utility District, the Utility District is not able to perform the inspection, the property owner must, at his own expense, have the plumbing inspected for cross-connections by a State of Wisconsin-certified cross-connection inspector/surveyor or by a State of Wisconsin-licensed plumber. All commercial, industrial and public authority properties that are required to test every two years shall have a state-certified plumber inspect the property at their own expense using Fox Crossing's nonresidential inspection form. A completed inspection form shall be sent to Fox Crossing Utilities every two years. The frequency of required inspections and reinspections, based on potential health hazards involved, may be shortened by the Utility District. The Utility District shall charge fees as approved by the State of Wisconsin Public Service Commission for on-premises follow-up visits by Utility District personnel for reinspection due to customer noncompliance and for after-hours inspections or reinspections.

Right of entry. Upon presentation of credentials, representatives of the Utility District shall have the right to request entry at any reasonable time to examine any property served by a connection to the public water system of the Utility District for cross-connections. If entry is refused, such representatives shall obtain a special inspection warrant under § 66.0119, Wis. Stats. Upon request, the owner, lessee or occupant of any property so served shall furnish to the inspection agency any pertinent information regarding the piping system on such property.

Authority to discontinue service. The Utility District is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of this section exists, and to take such other precautionary measures deemed necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water system. Water service shall be discontinued if the means of backflow prevention required by the Utility District is not installed, tested, maintained and repaired in compliance with this section and Ch. NR 811, Wis. Adm. Code, or if it is found that the means of backflow prevention required by this section has been removed or bypassed. Water service shall be discontinued only after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing under Ch. 68, Wis. Stats., except as provided in Subsection G of this section.

Reconnection of service. Water service to any property discontinued under the provisions of this section shall not be restored until the cross-connection has been eliminated or a backflow prevention device approved by the Utility District has been installed in compliance with the provisions of this section. The Utility District shall charge fees as approved by the State of Wisconsin Public Service Commission for the reconnection of the water service.

Emergency discontinuance of service. If it is determined by the Utility District that a cross-connection or an emergency endangers public health, safety or welfare and requires immediate action, service may be immediately discontinued. The owner, lessee or occupant shall have an opportunity for hearing under Ch. 68, Wis. Stats., within 10 days of such emergency discontinuance. Such hearing shall be before the Village Board and shall conform to all existing due process requirements.

Owner responsibility. The property owner shall be responsible for the elimination of or protection from all cross-connections on his premises. The owner shall, at his expense, have installed, maintained, and tested any and all backflow preventers on his premises in compliance with Chs. NR 811 and SPS 382, Wis. Adm. Code. The property owner shall have corrected any malfunction, revealed by periodic testing, of any backflow preventer(s) on his premises. The property owner shall inform the Utility District of any proposed or modified cross-connections, and also any existing cross-connections, which are not protected by an approved backflow prevention device. The property owner shall not install a bypass around any backflow preventer unless there is a backflow preventer of the same type on the bypass. Property owners who cannot shut down operation for testing of the backflow prevention device(s) must supply additional devices necessary to allow testing to take place. In the event the property owner installs plumbing upstream of the backflow preventer, such plumbing must have its own approved backflow preventer.

Additional protection. In the case of premises having internal cross-connections that cannot be permanently corrected or controlled or intricate plumbing and piping arrangements or where entry to all portions of the premises is not readily accessible for inspection purposes, making it impracticable or impossible to ascertain whether or not dangerous cross-connections exist, the public water system shall be protected against backflow from the premises by installing an approved backflow preventer in the service line. In the case of any premises where there is any material dangerous to health that is handled in such a manner that, in the opinion of the Utility District, could create an actual or potential hazard to the public water system, the public water system shall be protected by an approved air-gap separation or an approved reduced-pressure principle backflow preventer. Examples of premises where these conditions will exist include sewage treatment plants, hospitals, mortuaries, plating plants and car wash establishments. In the case of any premises where, in the opinion of the Utility District, an undue health threat is posed because of the presence of toxic substances, the Utility District may require an approved air gap at the service connection to protect the public water system. This requirement will be at the discretion of the Utility District.

Chapter SPS 382, Wis. Adm. Code, is hereby adopted, except any penalty provisions therein. Chapter NR 811, Wis. Adm. Code, is hereby adopted.

Plumbing codes. This section does not supersede the State of Wisconsin Plumbing Code, Chs. SPS 381 to 387, Wis. Adm. Code, but is supplementary to it.

Recommended practice. The property owner will be required to follow the recommended protection practices described in the American Water Works Association publication No. AWWA M14 titled "Recommended Practice for Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control" unless the Utility District requires or authorizes other means of protecting the public water system. These requirements or authorizations will be at the discretion of the Utility District.

It shall be unlawful for any person to do any of the following without prior approval of the Village Board or the Utility Superintendent and in addition thereto having obtained all required permits pursuant to this article:

To allow any contractor, mason, plumber, or any unauthorized person to take water from such water user's premises, to operate any valve or other connection or shutoff device connected with the street or supply mains, or to open or take water from any hydrant connected with the distribution system. Water may be taken from a hydrant only to extinguish a fire.

To disconnect, tamper with, bypass or change or modify any meter placed on any line connected to the distribution system. Meters shall be protected by the consumer from damage, but shall not be enclosed in such a manner as to prevent reasonable access or observation for reading, inspection and servicing.

To damage, change, alter, modify, bypass or tamper with any stop box upon his premises or to obstruct the use and access of said stop box by covering with dirt or placing other obstructions.

(4)

To tap into, use, alter, change, modify or tamper with any water line directly connected to the distribution system whether located on private or public land so as to interfere with or cause any change in any water service to any business or residence or to cause the water not to pass through a meter or meters on said property.

(5)

To turn water service on or off to any building, business or residence whether metered or unmetered. This subsection shall not prevent licensed plumbers from testing their work, but following testing the water service must be left off until all required inspections have been completed or the plumber shall be subject to the penalties herein.

(6)

To fail to notify the District of a defective or nonworking meter when the defect or failure is known to the person owning the premises or using the water.

(7)

To fail to notify the District of leaks or damage upon the premises causing a loss of water to the system whether said leak or damage is the result of negligence or carelessness or whether said leak or damage was created intentionally.

During reasonable hours, any officer or authorized employee of the District shall have the right of access to the premises supplied with water service for the purpose of inspection or for any enforcement of the District's rules and regulations.

Upon finding by reasonable evidence that any consumer is obtaining or allowing others to obtain from him any supply of water in whole or part by means of devices or methods used to stop or interfere with the proper metering of the water service (surreptitious use of water § PSC 185.37, Wis. Adm. Code), the District may, upon 24 hours' notice, disconnect the said service, unless repaired, and further has the right to estimate and present for payment immediately the bill for unmetered water service. Disconnection may be had upon failure to pay said bill within 24 hours of presentation to the consumer. When disconnected under this subsection, the District shall reconnect on the following conditions:

The consumer will be required to deposit with the utility an amount sufficient to guarantee the payment of the consumer's bills for utility service to the utility.

The consumer will be required to pay the utility for any and all damages to its equipment on the consumer's premises due to such stoppage or interference with its metering and for actual costs of the District employees needed to implement and enforce the remediation.

The consumer must further agree to comply with reasonable requirements to protect the utility against further losses.
