Containment Policy

 

All commercial accounts, as defined by WaterOne, are required to have a containment backflow prevention assembly installed on the service line prior to any usage. A means of controlling increased pressure caused by thermal expansion shall be provided as required by local plumbing code:

 

  • A reduced pressure assembly will be required whenever the occupant(s) is unknown or fixture isolation has not been determined, or if the facility is designated as high hazard by WaterOne.
  • A double check valve assembly will be allowed when the occupant(s) is known and requirements for fixture isolation have been determined by the department.
