Henricksen Administrative Officer Gentlemen: With this letter we are sending you the City's permit to con- struct and operate a domestic water system,,in the City of Huntington Beach. You will note that the permit is `gran-ted subject to certain provisions. Provision 2 calls for a cross-connection control program in accordance with this Department's "Regulations Relating to Cross- Connections", copy of which is enclosed. Your present ordinance which has been incorporated into the Municipal Code seems adequate to provide the basis for such a program. We strongly recommend that each applicant for water service be required to furnish the necessary information to enable the City to determine if backflow protection is needed on that service. The applicant should be asked information regarding the presence of private wells, industrial operations, and liquid pumping facilities on his property. The City should then investigate the premises to determine if backflow protection is necessary according to the ordinance and the State's "Regulations Relating to Cross-Connections". The imporE—ance of performing this work prior to installing the service cannot be over- emphasized. It is much easier to do it before the service is granted than after. Costly expenditures can often be avoided. Of course, follow-up inspections of known conditions should be made to see if new Ts hazards have been created and to see if backflow prevention devices have been properly installed and routinely tested. Under Provision 5 we require that new and repaired mains be sterilized prior to placing into service. We recommend that a procedure creating at least a 10 part per million chlorine residual after 2[I. hours of retention be adopted. The enclosed pamphlet entitled "AWWA Standard for Disinfecting Water Twins" is for your use in setting up a procedure. City of Huntington Beach -2- February 9, 1959 Provision 7 requires that detailed plans and specifications for reservoirs, wells, pumping equipment, treatment works, and revisions to the system as proposed be filed with this Department for engineering approval prior to construction (preferably before calling for bids). This provision is necessary due to the fact that these plans and speci- fications are not available at this time. Ordinarily the detailed plans would be filed with the application and reviewed at that time. Please note particularly the last sentence of the permit letter which requests you to indicate your acceptance of the provisions and your intention and ability to comply with them. Very truly yours, if- E. A.

Henricksen ,Administrative Officer Subject: Domestic Water Permit Gentlemen: Application of the City of Huntington Beach dated December 15, 1958, made to the State Board of Public Health of the State of California in accordance with the provisions of Section 1+011 of the Health and Safety Code of this State for a permit to construct and operate a domestic water system has been considered by the State Department of Public Health. The system for which application has been made is described in the plans, general specifications, and other descriptive material pre- sented in .'support of the application. Since no system exists at this time, this Department has not prepared a sanitary survey report as a part of the consideration of this application. The following is a summary description and analysis of the proposed system. A. SOURCES AND WORKS The water supply will be obtained from two sources. A total of 5.37 million gallons per day will be available from the Lower Orange County Feeder Line of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, an approved source of domestic water. This will be the primary source of water for the time being. Eventually, a second source of water will be obtained by the development of aground water supply in the northwestern section of the city. The ultimate storage capacity required, according to the engineer's recommendations, is gproximately 6,000,000 gallons City of Huntington Beach -2- February 9, 1959 and is to be constructed as growth of the City warrants. The reservoirs will be constructed at two sites, one in the north- western portion of the City near Bolsa Avenue and Graham Street, and the other in the southeastern portion near Garfield Avenue and Huntington Beach Boulevard. Pumping equipment will be installed at these reservoirs in order to pump water into the distribution system when needed. A distribution system consisting of cast iron, asbestos- cement, and steel protected from corrosion will be installed. Water mains and sewers will be separated by at least five feet, both vertically and laterally. The lateral separation will usually be ten feet. Construction of the system will follow a master plan of main sizes and locations which has been drawn up.by the engineer. Necessary valves and control equipment will be installed in order to control the system closely and minimize service interruptions caused by repairs. B. TREATIT,NT The Metropolitan Water District's water is coagulated, settled, softened, filtered, and chlorinated prior.to deliv- ery. This treatment is accomplished at the District's softening and filtration plant at La Verne, California. The City will not ordinarily treat the water obtained' either from Metropolitan Water District or from the proposed wells; how- ever, disinfection equipment will be installed at the reser- voirs and at the well sites for emergency. AUXILIARY SUPPLIES The. City plans to develop emergency interconnections with other approved publicly owned water supply systems in the adjacent territory. D. MAINTEN24C.E AND OPERATION I A competent staff is to be made available for routine maintenance and operation and for :emergency service. Neces- sary valves will be installed to control the system and to minimize interruption due to repairs. A. cross-connection control ordinance has been inaugurated and will provide a basis for a cross-connection control program. ! New and repaired mains will be chlorinated. New mains will be chlorinated by the contractor who will be given an option in the method he uses provided that the method used is acceptable to the local health department. The procedure for chlorinating after repairs has not been definitely es- tablished. Records and mays will be maintained of all construction on an as-built basis. ,City 'of Huntington Beach -3- February 9, 1959 Bacteriological control of the water will be furnished by the Orange County Health Department. A sufficient number of samples will be analyzed for coliform organisms each month to adequately determine the quality of the water being served. E. 14ATER CONSUIPTION AND NUMBER OF CONSUMERS The system is being designed to handle an average demand of 200 gallons per capita per day. All sources and services will be metered. The master plan for development calls for providing for an expected population in the year 2000 of 78,500 persons. The number of service connections that will exist at the beginning of operations is not yet known. F. PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT Initially, the Metropolitan Water District supply will be the only source of water. To accommodate this supply, a res- ervoir with a capacity of at least one million gallons will be constructed near Garfield Avenue and Huntington Beach Boulevard. Pumping and emergency chlorination equipment will be installed at this reservoir. Additional wells and reser- voir capacity will.be constructed as growth of the City proceeds. Several small private water companies within the City limits may be acquired gradually in order to improve service to these areas. The distribution system will be in- stalled in accordance with the development of the area and the master plan. Financing for future development will be arranged later. Detailed engineering and economic studies will be continued in order to keep up with the development of the area. G. APPRAISAL OF SYSTEM The plan of development and general specifications call for a properly constructed, operated, and maintained system. The City proposes to protect the system from contamination according to sound public health principles. A cross- connection control ordinance has been included in the Nuxii6iPal Code and should furnish a sound basis for protec- tion against backflow into the system. Future expansion of the system is said to be geared to population growth and de- velopment. The northwest portion of the area may have high ground water and will require special care in design and construction of the water lines. A proposed pressure range of 70 to 100 pounds per square inch should be adequate in preventing infil-tration under normal conditions. FINDLiGS OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH are that the pro- visions of.Sections 4011 to 4035, inclusive, of the Health and Safety Code City of Huntington Beach -4- February 9, 1959 can be met by the proposed water system. Permit is hereby granted to the City of Huntington Beach as applied for, said permit being subject to the following provisions: (1) Water for domestic purposes shall, under all circumstances and conditions, be pure, wholesome, and notable and shall not endanger the lives or health of human beings; (2) A program for the protection- of the domestic water system against possible backflow from premises having dual or unsafe water systems shall be maintained in accordance with the "Regulations Relating to Cross-Connections" of the California State Board of Public health, Sections 7583 to 7622, inclusive, of the California Administrative Code; (3) Competent and adequate operation shall be provided at all times, and operating records, including water flow, quantity of water treated, chemicals used, and other data as may be required by the State Department of Public Health shall be maintained; (4) Bacteriological and chemical tests performed in compliance with the methods set forth in the U.

General Statement 1.1. These standards set forth minimum requirements for Dlininium safe practice in the production and delivery of water for domes- mlu1ements tic use. They are to be interpreted as meeting only the minimum requirements of design, construction, maintenance, and opera- tion of water utility systems. 1.2. For the purpose of these minimum requirements the use of the word shall indicates a mandatory requirement and the use of the word should indicates a recommendation for good «eater works practice. 2.0. Intent and Purpose 2.1. It is the intent of these standards to safeguard intent domestic water consumers from injury resulting from sanitary hazards or structural hazards, or both, which may arise from inadequacies in the design,construction,maintenance, and oper- ation of water utility systems. 2.11. Sanitary hazards are inadequacies actual, or poten- tial, which might permit the entrance of pollution, contamina- tion,or infection into the water, thereby impairing water quality or rendering it injurious to public health. 2.12. Structural hazards are inadequacies which actually or potentially impair the physical structure of the water system and which are of a nature that might create sanitary hazards. iStructural hazards may be due to structural weaknesses, im- proper design,poor workmanship,improper operation,or inade- quate maintenance or an insufficient quantity of water. 2.2. Purpose. It is the purpose of these minimum Purpose requirements to outline standards of design, construction,main- tenance and operation of domestic water systems which will pro- vide protection of the public health. 3.0. Water System 3.1. The water system shall be considered as made up of Definitions two parts; namely, the utility system and the customer system. 3.2. The utility system, consisting of the source facilities and the distribution system, shall include all those facilities of the water system under the complete control of the utility, up to the point where the customer's system begins. 3.21. The source shall include all components of the facil- ities, utilized in the production, treatment, storage, and deliv- ery of water to the distribution system. — 10 — 3.22. The distribution system shall include the network of conduits, used for the delivery of water, from the source to the customer's system. Customer 3.3. The customer system shall include those parts of the system facilities beyond the termination of the utility distribution sys- tem which are utilized in conveying utility delivered domestic water to points of use. Ordinarily, the utility has no direct control over the design, construction, maintenance, or operation of these facilities. The customer system should be open for inspection at all reasonable times to authorized representatives of the utility to determine whether cross connections or other structural or sanitary hazards exist. No secondary source of water supply intended for human consumption shall be per- mitted on the customer's premises or connected to the customer's system except with written permission of the utility or of the State Department of Public Health. In no case shall any sec- ondary source be connected to the customer's system unless pro- tective devices conforming to the cross connection regulations adopted by the State Board of Public Health and installed at points of connection to the utility system and properly main- tained. 4.0. Quality of Water Quality of The quality of water supplied for human consumption shall water conform to Sections 3 and 4 of the United States Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards, 1946. 5.0. Design and Construction Principles of 5.1. All facilities of the utility system shall be designed design and constructed to withstand, with ample safety factors, the physical stresses to which they will be subjected and shall be free from structural or sanitary hazards.All equipment shall be of adequate size and capacity and be correlated with available supply from storage to meet the requirements of Section 5.2. Wherever feasible, the units of source facilities shall be of such capacity that an outage of any individual unit during a period of peak demand will not result in reduction of supply in the distribution system below the requirements of Section 5.2. Quantity of 5.2. The quantity of water delivered to the distribution supply system from all source facilities should be sufficient to supply adequately,dependably,and safely the total water requirements of all consumers under maximum consumption. 5.21. The combined capacities of all source facilities at periods of maximum demand shall support a rate of flow to the distribution system for two hours of n6t less than Q= 100 +F 1/N for 625 customer units or less and Q = 100+N for more than 625 customer units. Where: "Q" equals the rate of flow in gallons per minute delivered from the combined source facilities to the distribution system, and "F" is a factor equaling 25, unless a lesser factor is approved by the State Department of Public Health for the individual water supply system, and "N" equals the total number of customer units where each unit is equivalent to one for a single family dwelling on a normal city lot. Other types of development shall be assigned appro- priate customer unit values as experience within the distribution system or locality indicates. 5.3. For the purpose of these minimum requirements,the Source source shall be considered as made up of the source facilities, the transportation facilities and all appurtenances thereto. 5.31. Source facilities are those developed to provide means of obtaining water from natural sources. works shall have suitable a 5:311. Stream diversionppur- stream divermon tenances to guard against entry into the water system of foreign works material and shall have cleaning or sluicing facilities.The diver- sion works shall be protected against trespassers. The stream system should be protected against uncontrolled recreational use, and against pollution from domestic, industrial or other harmful types of waste. Provision shall be made, where neces- sary, for the installation of facilities for disinfection or other treatment of water. The quantity of water available for use shall be considered as the minimum flow of the stream available for diversion during the driest year of record. 5.312. Reservoirs for impounding surface runoff, long Reservoirs term carryover storage, and those formed by stream or river control dams should have provision for protection against uncon- trolled recreational use, marginal vegetation and algae growths and animal pollution.Disinfection facilities and means for with- drawal of water from various levels in the reservoir should be provided. The quantity of water available for use shall be con- sidered as the safe yield of the reservoir. 5.313. Infiltration galleries and springs shall have Inflitratton strongly constructed appurtenances to guard against collapse galleries or failure and shall have protective features to prevent entry of foreign matter into the system. Facilities for the installation of equipment to disinfect the water shall be provided. The quan- tity of water available for use shall be considered as the mini- mum quantity developed during the driest year of record. 5.314. Wells shall be constructed to prevent, insofar as wens possible, contamination from any source. If a well casing,as set, is perforated at such levels that contaminated water may enter, adequate repairs shall be made before water from the well is used. Where impervious'formations or sealing clay strata are not encountered that will prevent contaminated water from entering the well, provision shall be made for the installation of disinfection equipment. The productive capacity of the well shall be determined from tests taken at the lowest recorded static water level. 5.315. Water, which is not obtained from a natural water source free from pollution, shall not be delivered for domestic treatment — 12 -- use unless it is adequately purified by natural agencies or ade- quately disinfected by artificial treatment to insure compliance with Sections 3 and 4 of the United States Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards, 1946. Transporta- 5.32. Transportation facilities consist of the equipment tion and appurtenances, which provide means of delivering water to the distribution system from the source facilities. Storage 5.321. Reservoirs and tanks from which the water is delivered directly into the mains of the distribution system where not adequately protected against pollution or completely covered shall have facilities for the installation of equipment to disinfect water. Pumping 5.332. Pumping equipment delivering water to-the dis- rquipment tribution system shall, in conjunction with the storage facilities, be so designed as to meet the requirements of Paragraph 5.2. Each pumping unit should be driven by a separate power unit of adequate size. Construction shall be such as to prevent sani- tary hazard or structural defects whether the pumping unit is handling raw or treated water. pipin- 5.33. All piping in the source facilities shall be of ade- quate size to carry the required quantities of water with reason- able velocities. No pipe conveying contaminated water prior to treatment shall be connected to pipe carrying potable water. Meters 5.34. A master meter or other suitable measuring device shall be provided for each source facility to register accurately the quantity of water delivered to the distribution system. nbrteriats 5.35. All materials,pipe,valves,fittings and other appur- tenances used in source facilities shall be of such strength and durability as to be free of structural hazards. Blethods of 5.36. All work shall be performed by competent work- eonstruction men experienced in the trade involved. Such work shall be done in a manner to avoid imperfections which might impair the sta- bility of the physical structure. All work and equipment shall comply with applicable codes. Installation shall be made by or under the direction of qualified personnel. Housing for 5.37. Housing for all equipment appurtenances, and equipment other facilities shall provide adequate ventilation and protec- tion against unauthorized entry. Ample space for the per- formance of all operating, maintenance and repair functions shall be provided. 5.4. Distribution system: Distribution 5.41. The distribution system should be of adequate size system and so designed in conjunction with related facilities to main- tain a minimum pressure of 20 pounds per square inch at every point during periods of maximum normal demand. Length of 5.411. The maximum length of run of each size of pipe run should conform to existing requirements of proper local author- ity but in the absence of such locally promulgated requirements i r — 13 and in no case should the maximum run of pipe be greater than the following: 5.4111.

Gb� I �gt�eo��P STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH 2151 Berkeley Way BERKELEY 4, CALIFORNIA I� REGULATIONS RELATING TO CROSS-CONNECTIONS Title 17, Chapter V, Sections 7583-7622, Inclusive, of the CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE Article 1. Purpose of Regulations to Safeguard Drinking Water Supplies by Preventing Backfiow Into Public Water Systems 7583. Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is: (1) to pro- tect the public water supply against actual or potential cross-connections by isolating within the premise contamination or pollution that may occur because of some undiscovered or unauthorized cross-connection on the premise; (2) to eliminate existing connections between drinking water systems and other sources of water that are not approved as safe and potable for human consumption; (3) to eliminate cross-connections be- tween drinking water systems and other sources of water or process water used for any purpose whatsoever which jeopardize the safety of the drinking water supply; (4) to prevent the making of cross-connec- tions in the future; (5).to encourage the exclusive use of public sources of water supply; (6) to protect the drinking water supply within the premise where plumbing defects or cross-connections may endanger the drinking water supply available on the premise. The regulations are to be reasonably interpreted. It is the intent of these regulations to recognize that there are varying degrees of hazard and to apply the principle that the degree of protection should be com- mensurate with the degree of hazard. These regulations are not to be construed as prohibiting local gov- ernmental authorities or water purveyors from establishing require- ments regarding protection of water supply more rigid than herein indi- cated, where local circumstances warrant. It is recognized that the control of cross-connections requires coaperation between water purveyors and health agencies. The water purveyor has primary responsibility to prevent water from unapproved sources, or any other substance, entering the public water supply system. The health agency has the over-all responsibility for preventing water from unapproved sources from entering either the potable water systems within water consumers' premises or the public water supply directly. Nom: Authority cited for Articles 1 through 4: Sections 203 and 208, Health and Safety Code. Issuing agency: State Department of Public Health. History: 1. Repealer of Articles 1 through 10 and New Articles 1 through 4 (See- ' tions 7583,7588 through 7594,7603 through 7605,and 7615 through 7622) filed 5-8-53; effective thirtieth day thereafter (Register 53, No. 8). (3) - 4 — Article 2. Definitions 7588. Cross-connection. The term "cross-connection" as used in these regulations means any unprotected connection between any part of a water system used or intended to supply water for drinking pur- poses and any source or system containing water or substance that is not or cannot be approved as safe, wholesome, and potable for human consumption. 7589. Approved Water Supply. The term "approved water supply" means any water supply approved by, or under the public health supervision of, a public health agency of the State of California, or its political subdivisions. In determining what constitutes an ap- proved water supply, the State Department of Public Health reserves final judgment as to its safety and potability. 7590. Auxiliary Supply. The term "auxiliary supply" means any water supply on or available to the premises other than the public water supply. 7591. Approved Check Valve. The term"approved check valve" means a check valve that seats readily and completely. It must be care- fully machined to have free moving parts and assured watertightness. The face of the closure element and valve seat must be bronze, composi- tion, or other noncorrodible material which will seat'tightly under all prevailing conditions of field use. Pins and bushings shall be of bronze or other noncorrodible,nonsticking material,machined for easy, depend- able operation. The closure element (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. 7592. Approved Double Check Valve Assembly. The term "ap- proved double check valve assembly" means an assembly of at least two independently acting approved 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 water- tightness of each check valve. 7593. Air-gap Separation. The term"air-gap separation"means a physical break between a supply pipe and a receiving vessel. The air- gap shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe, measured vertically above the top rim of the vessel, in no case less than one inch. 7594. Approved Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Prevention Device. The term"approved reduced pressure principle backflow pre- vention 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 ap- purtenances 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 — 5 — pressure between the check valves shall be less than the supply pressure. In case of leakage of either check valve, the differential relief valve shall operate to maintain this reduced pressure by discharging to the atmos- phere.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. Article 3. Protection of Public Water System at Service Connection 7603. Where Protection Is Required. (1) Each service connec- tion from a public water system for supplying water to premises having an auxiliary water supply shall be protected against backflow of water from the premises into the public water system, unless the auxiliary water supply is accepted as an additional source by the water purveyor, and is approved by the public health agency having jurisdiction. (2) Each service connection from a public water system for supplying water to premises on which any substance is handled under pressure in such fashion as to permit entry into the water system shall be protected against backflow of the water from the premises into the public system. This shall include the handling of process waters and waters originating from the public water supply system which have been subject to deteri- oration in sanitary quality. (3) Backflow prevention devices shall be installed on the service connection to any premises that have internal cross-connections unless such cross-connections are abated to the satis- faction of the water purveyor and approved by the state or local health department. It shall be the responsibility of the water user to provide protective devices as required under Section 7604. 7604. Type of Protection. The protective device required shall depend on the degree of hazard as tabulated below: (1) At the service connection to any premises where there is an auxiliary water supply handled in a separate piping system with no known cross-connection,the public water supply shall be protected by an approved double check valve assembly. (2) At the service connection to any premise on which a substance that would be objectionable (but not necessarily hazardous to health), if introduced into the public water supply, is handled so as to constitute a cross-connection, the public water supply shall be protected by an approved double check valve assembly. (3) At the service connection on any premise on which there is an auxiliary water supply where cross-connections are known to exist which cannot be presently eliminated, the public water supply system shall be protected by an approved re- 0 - 6 — duced pressure principle backflow prevention device. A double check valve assembly may be used in lieu of such device if local experience indicates that double check valves are reliably .operated and if approved by the water purveyor and local health agency. (4) At the service connection to any premise on which any material dangerous to health or toxic substance in toxic con- centration is or may be handled under pressure, the public water supply shall be protected by an air-gap separation. The air-gap shall be located as close as practicable to the service cock and all piping between the service cock and receiving tank shall be entirely visible. If these conditions cannot rea- sonably be met, the public water supply shall be protected with either an approved reduced pressure principle backflow pre- vention device, or an approved double check valve assembly, providing the alternative is acceptable to both the water pur- veyor and the local health department. (5) At the service connection to any sewage treatment plant or sewage pumping station the public water supply shall be protected by an air-gap separation. The air-gap shall be located as close as practicable to the service cock and all piping between the service cock and receiving tank shall be entirely visible. If these conditions cannot be reasonably met, the public water supply shall be protected with an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device, providing this alternative is acceptable to both the water purveyor and local health department. Final decision in this matter shall rest with the State Department of Public Health. 7605. Frequency of Inspection of Protective Devices. It shall be the duty of the water user on any premise on account of which backflow protective devices are installed to have competent inspections made at least once a ,year, or more often in those instances where successive in- spections indicate repeated failure. These devices shall be repaired, over- hauled or replaced at the expense of the water user whenever they are found to be defective. It shall be the duty of the water purveyor and the health department to see that these tests are made in accordance with the responsibility designated in Section 7583.Records of such tests, repairs, and overhaul shall be kept and made available to the water purveyor and the local health department. Article 4. Protection of Potable Water System Within Premises 7615. Separate Drinking Water Systems. Whenever the health agency determines that.it is not practical to protect drinking water sys- tems on premises against entry of water from a source or piping system or equipment that cannot be approved as safe or potable for human use, an entirely separate drinking water system shall.be installed to supply water at points convenient for consumers. — 7 7616. Fire System. Water systems for fighting fire,derived from a supply that cannot be approved as safe or potable for human use shall, wherever practicable,*be kept wholly separate from drinking water pipe- lines and equipment. In cases where the domestic water system is used for both drinking and fire fighting purposes, approved backflow preven- tion devices shall be installed to protect such individual drinking water lines as are not used for fire fighting purposes. It is hereby declared that it is the responsibility of the person or persons causing the introduction of said unapproved or unsafe water into the pipelines to see: (1) that a procedure be developed and carried out to notify and protect users of this piping system during the emergency; (2) that special precautions be taken to disinfect thoroughly and flush out all pipelines which may have become contaminated before they are again used to furnish drink- ing water. In the event the means of protection of water consumers is by disinfection of the auxiliary fire fighting supply, the installation and its use shall be thoroughly reliable. When disinfection of the auxiliary supply itself is depended upon to render the water safe, the means of applying the disinfectant under this regulation shall be automatic with operation of the pump or pumps employed with the dangerous water in question. Adequate supplies or chlorine or its compounds must be kept on hand at all times. Chlorine dosing equipment shall be tested daily and kept in good operating con- dition. The public water supply must be protected against backflow from such dual domestic fire systems as detailed in Section 7604. 7617. Process Waters. Potable water pipelines connected to equipment for industrial processes or operations shall be disconnected therefrom if practicable. Where disconnection is not practicable, a suit- able backflow prevention device located beyond the last point from which drinking water may be taken shall be provided on the feed line to process piping or equipment. In the event the particular process liquid is espe- cially corrosive or apt to prevent reliable action of the backflow preven- tion device, air-gap separation shall be provided. These devices shall be tested by the water user at least once a year, or more often in those instances where successive inspections indicate repeated failure. The devices shall be repaired, overhauled or replaced whenever they are found to be defective. Records of tests, repairs, and replacement shall be kept and made available to the local health department. 7618. Sewage Treatment Plants and Pumping Stations. Sewage pumps shall not have priming connections directly off any drinking water systems. No connections shall exist between the drinking water system and any other piping, equipment, or tank in any sewage treat- ment plant or sewage pumping station. 7619. Plumbing Connections. Where the circumstances are such that there is special danger to health by the backflow of sewage, as from sewers, toilets, hospital bedpans, and the like, into a drinking water system, a dependable device or devices shall be installed to prevent such backflow. — 8 — The purpose of these regulations is not to transcend local plumbing regulations but only to deal with those extraordinary situations where sewage maybe forced or drawn into the drinking water piping. These regulations do not attempt to eliminate at this time the hazards of back- siphonage through flushometer valves on all toilets but deal with those situations where the likelihood of vacuum conditions in the drinking water system is definite and there is special danger to health. Devices suited to the purpose of avoiding back-siphonage from plumbing fixtures are roof tanks or separate pressure systems separately piped to supply such fixtures, recognized approved vacuum or siphon breakers and other backflow protective devices which have been proved by appropriate tests to be dependable for destroying the vacuum. Inasmuch as many of the serious hazards of this kind are due to water supply piping which is too small, thereby causing vacuum condi- tions when fixtures are flushed or water is drawn from the system in other ways, it is recommended that water supply piping that is too small be enlarged whenever possible. 7620. Pier and Dock Hydrants. Backflow protection by a suit- able backflow prevention device shall be provided on each drinking water pier head outlet used for supplying vessels at piers or water- fronts. These assemblies must be located where they will prevent the return of any water from the vessel into the drinking water pipeline or into another adjacent vessel. This will prevent such practices as connecting the ship fire pumping or sanitary pumping system with a dock hydrant and thereby pumping contaminated water into the drink- ing water system and thence to adjacent vessel's or back into the public mains. 7621. Marking Safe and Unsafe Water Lines. Where the prem- ises contain dual or multiple water systems and piping, the exposed portions of pipelines shall be painted, banded or marked at sufficient in- tervals to distinguish clearly which water is safe and which is not safe. All outlets from secondary or other potentially contaminated systems shall be posted as being contaminated and unsafe for drinking purposes. All outlets intended for drinking purposes shall be plainly marked to indicate that fact. 7622. Water Supervisor. The health department and the water purveyor shall be kept informed of the identity of the person responsible for the water piping on all premises concerned with these regulations. At each premise where it is necessary in the opinion of the health de- partment, a water supervisor shall be designated. This water supervisor shall be responsible for the installation and use of pipelines and equip- ment and for the avoidance of cross-connections. In the event of contamination or pollution of the drinking water system due to a cross-connection on the premises, the local health officer and water purveyor shall be promptly advised by the person responsible for the water system so that appropriate measures may be taken to over- come the contamination. 0 Printed in CALIFORNIA STATE PRINTING OPPICE 31018 2-56 5M j Regulations Relating to Approval o� Water Laboratories An Excerpt From CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 1952 _ p�P STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH 760-Market-Street SA- FRA-IICJSE6-2;fAN-FGRNIA Calf ro'3 S±;fe DePartmenf of Public ffealfh Division of Laboratories--Sanitation Labo;afory 2151 Berkeley W:ay Berkeley 4, Califomia WATER LABORATORIES Chapter 2,Subchapter 1,Group 6,Sections 1174-1184, Inclusive of the CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 1951 TITLE 17 WATER LABORATORIES 87 (Register 25, No. 2-7-28-51) Group 6.

February 27, 1939 Honorable Mayor and City Council Huntington Beach, California Gentlemen: We hereby submit to you the following proposal to act as your Engineers in reference to a study of a municipally owned water system. We will make and compile a complete inventory of the physi- cal properties of,,Jh Southern li or is Water Company serving the City of Huntington BX( A nc. 1 g erials and equipment. The inventory will be itemized and grouped into accounts conforming to the system as outlined by the State Railroad Commission. We will make such field checks, inspections and examinations of properties as are necessary to verify the inventory and to deter- mine the present physical condition and general conditions affecting the remaining life, either through physical and natural agencies or obsolescence. When the conditions of the property being appraised can best be determined by test pits or excavations the City shall furnish laborers, tools and transportation of the laborers and equip- ment necessary for such excavations and shall refill and repair, when necessary, such excavations made for the purpose of examination and inspection. All available existing data affecting the proposed work that are held b' the City shall be made accessible to us. This includes reports, plans , maps, cost data and records which may assist us in our investigations. After completing the field investigations and compiling and checking of inventories we will summarize the data collected and make an appraisal of the values of the properties of the Southern California Water Company serving the City. The inventories and valu- ations will be prepared and divided into accounts in conformity with the system of accounting prescribed by the State Railroad Commission for privately owned Utilities. The report will show the annual amounts of depreciation_ and table of anticipated lives, ages, and rates of annual depreciation. The appraisal will contain such maps , photo- graphs and drawings as may be necessary to show clearly the character, location and extent of the entire property or properties owned by said Southern California Water Company serving the City. Hon. Mayor and City Council -2- February 27, 1939 The valuation will be based upon REPRODUCTION COST METHOD with the use of the present prevailing prices for materials and con- struction work. We will personally present our completed appraisal in quadruplicate. We will make a study of the present revenues, operating expenses , including bond interest and retirement, depreciation, and such other proper charges or items of expense of operation of a publicly owned water system for the City of Huntington Beach. For the above services we are to receive the sum of Twenty-five Hundred Dollars (*2500.00) ; $500.00 on acceptance of this proposition, : 1000.00 on the first day of April, 1939, and $1000.00 on presentation and delivery of said appraisal. If the City wishes to proceed with negotiations for the purchase of the properties of the Southern California Water Company serving the city, after the appraisal is made, we will aid in such negotiations , make necessary reports and furnish such necessary Engineering data to enlighten the voters on the question of acquiring the system. For these services we are to receive the sum of Three Thousand Dollrars ($3000.00) upon the successful completion of said negotiations with said Southern California Water Company. It is further understood that if any additions are made to the present existing system after purchase of said system by the City, or it is determined to build a new system, we will do all said Engineering work in accordance with Recommendations of the American Society of Civil En- gineers for Determining Fees to be Allowed for Professional Engineering Services on Federal and Federal Aid Projects Undertaken as an Aid to Industrial Recovery or to Relieve Unemployment, which are as follows: Preliminary investigations Assistance in application for Federal funds Preparation of designs ,plans and specifications . Estimate of quantities and costs. Assistance in securing bids Analysis of bids Assistance in letting contracts Checking shop and working drawings furnished by contractors Consultation and advice during construction Reviewing estimates for progress and final payments to contractors Final inspection and report For these services we are to receive six per cent (6%) of the total estimated const=tion cost to be paid upon the approval of final plans and specifications . i i Hon. Mayor and City Council -3- February 27, 1939 During the period of construction we will act as your Engineers and supervise said work and make final inspection and report for two per cent (20) of the total construction cost, to be paid in equal monthly installments as the work progresses. If the above meets with your approval we can start this work immediately and will push it to completion at the earliest possible date.
