Cross Connection Information
Help Protect North Logan’s Water Supply
North Logan prides itself on offering some of the cleanest water in the state of Utah. Despite how much we treat and disinfect our drinking water, there is always the chance that our supply can be contaminated through a “cross-connection.” A “cross-connection” can be defined as any actual or potential connection between our drinking water and other unwanted water sources that may introduce contaminants into the drinking water supply, such as secondary or used water, gas or other industrial fluids. Common forms of cross-connections include irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, or a hose left in a pool or bucket.
A “backflow” is an undesirable reversal flow of water. A loss of water pressure in pipes can cause water to flow backwards which could then lead to contaminated water entering the drinking water supply. A “backflow assembly or device” works to eliminate the possibility of said contaminants from entering our drinking water system at a cross-connection site. Examples of backflows occurring could include a fire hydrant being opened, exceptionally heavy water use, or a water main break.
In order to ensure our drinking water supply is protected from contamination, North Logan will begin inspecting all backflow assemblies and devices located throughout the city annually. Backflow devices can be found primarily within our local commercial and industrial businesses, but are also required for residential irrigation systems. During an inspection, a trained North Logan staff member will document the existence of any backflow devices within a building, document their protective roles, and make recommendations on how to better protect their system and ours. Following an inspection, all assemblies and devices will be tested annually by a third party to ensure they are operating properly. Inspections and tests are mandatory in accordance with city laws and ordinances, and State regulations.
It is the responsibility of the business owner or resident to be in compliance by abiding by laws and ordinances of North Logan. All residences with an irrigation system should have a dual check valve service meter installed. Together, we can keep North Logan’s drinking water system safe and protected.
