Sec. 8610 Drinking Water Regulations.
The following are regulations to safeguard

water which may occur because of some undis-
covered or unauthorized cross -connection
within the premises.
.(a) Where protection is required each
service connection from an approved public
water system or supplying water to the pre-
mises of industrial, commercial, merchantile,
public offices, manufacturing plants, mobile -
homes, mobilehome parks, shall be protected
-6-
against backflow of water from the premises
into the approved public water system.
(b) Type of protection.
1. Approved reduced pressure
bA.4
principle Aflow preventioW device.
The term "approved reduced pressure
principle backflow prevention device" means
a device incorporating two or more check valves
and an automatically operating differential
relief valve located between the two checks, two
shut-off valves, and equipped with necessary
appurtenances for testing. The device shall
operate to maintain the pressure in the zone
between the two check valves, less than the
pressure on the public water supply side of
the device. 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 differ-
ential relief valve shall operate to maintain
this reduced pressure by discharging to
the atmosphere. When the inlet pressure is
two pounds per square inch or less, the
relief valve shall open to the atmosphere
thereby providing an air gap in the device.
To be approved, these devices must be readily
accessible for maintenance and testing and
installed in a location where no part of the
valve will be submerged.
2. Approved double check valve
assembly, providing this alternate is accept-
able to the water purveyor, Costa Mesa Uniform
S!
Plumbing Code and local health department
requirements.
The term "approved check valve"
means a check valve that seats readily and
completely. It must be carefully machined
to have free moving parts and assured water-
tightness. The face of the closure element
and valve seat must be bronze, composition,
or other noncorrodible material which will
seat tightly under all prevailing conditions
of field use. Pins and bushings shall beef
bronze or other noncorrodible, nonsticking
material, machined for easy, dependable opera-
tion. The closure dement (e.g., clapper)
shall be internally weighted or otherwise
internally equipped to promote rapid and
positive closure in all sizes where this
feature is obtainable. The term "approved
double check valve assembly" means an assem-
bly of at least two acting ap-
proved check valves including tightly
closing shut-off valves on each side of the
check valve assembly and suitable leak -
detector drains plus connections available
for testing the watertightness of each check
valve."
SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall take effect and
be in full force thirty (30) days from and after its passage
and prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days from its.
passage shall be published once in the Orange Coast Daily
Pilot, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and
