The information collected during the inspection is stored internally
and will not be released to any third party without consent. Any necessary requirements post
inspection will be conveyed to you via a letter of requirements. Inspections You
can help prevent contamination from entering your home by following a few tips. Leaving a minimum
gap of at least 1” between the water supply and a potentially contaminated water source Create a
minimum gap of at least 1” for all indirect connections to the sewer. An example of this would be
the drain hose to a floor drain from a water softener. Attach a hose connection vacuum breaker to
outdoor taps. Avoid placing the hose end in contaminated water, such as a dishpan, a wading pool,
fish tank or pail. Never leave the hose unattended when utilizing a chemical or pesticide sprayer
and disconnect immediately after use. Any homes using boiler heat require a backflow prevention
device on the water supply to the boiler regardless of the use of chemical. Consult with a licensed
plumber and consider alternative means that do not require a direct connection to add pressure to
the system.
Residential Homes
Learn more about what type of backflow prevention you require, testing requirements, record keeping
and more. What type of backflow prevention is required? The type and location of a backflow
preventer is based on the hazard level of the facility or equipment, accessibility of the location,
and the potential for changes within the building or property. Maintaining a physical unobstructed
Air Gap (as per the National Plumbing Code of Canada) is the best defence from backflow conditions
as there are no mechanical components. An example of an Air Gap is the distance from the end of
your faucet to the highest
point or “flood level” of a sink. Placing
a hose below the flood level of any fixture negates this Air Gap. In some cases, an Air Gap is not
practical or feasible due to potential of contamination (such as leaving a connected hose on the
ground) or devices requiring constant pressure (such as a direct water feed to a boiler). These
require the installation of a mechanical backflow prevention device. There are some options if you
have concerns about backflow prevention within your facility. The City will perform inspections
upon request and notify you in writing of the required devices for backflow prevention.
Alternately, an AWWA licensed mechanical contractor may perform an assessment (at your discretion
and expense) and communicate the findings to the City for review. Why do I need to make changes?
Nothing has happened or changed since the last building inspection. There are no “grandfather”
clauses that apply to cross-connection control. Many customers believe that their facility is not
subject to the regulations. Previous inspections have been successful, and the property was
compliant at the time. Therefore, these “new rules” do not apply to me. That is not true. Any
hazard must be isolated from the drinking-water supply regardless of when the hazard was first
created or the site constructed. It is important to note that code requirements consistently change
and your facility shall be evaluated based on current industry best practices and code
requirements. Due to the severity of health risk, existing applications cannot remain unabated or
under-protected simply because they were potentially approved under some former version of code or
potentially approved by a former inspector. Our business received a letter from the City. What does
this mean and who should I contact? The Water Metering and Cross Connection Control Inspection
Report lists all the necessary corrections noted at the time of the inspection. Should you have any
questions regarding the contents of the letter, duration for requirements to be completed, budget
restraints, or any other concerns, contact the Cross Connection Control program as soon as possible
after receipt. Our team is practical and aware, so communication is crucial should you encounter
any issues. Lack of communication and ignorance of the rules does not absolve you or your business
from responsibility. Failure to comply with the requirements can lead to fines and a possible
termination of water service to the property. ...
