City of Bothell Water

Protecting the quality of the drinking water includes safeguarding the water as it goes by through the pipes to any or all the buildings inside the City. If you need assistance finding a backflow specialist check out the City of Bothell’s Certified Backflow Testers List at www.bothellwa. gov/1107/Water-Service Some locations that can result in mix connections include: • Washbasins and service sinks • Laboratory equipment • Irrigation or yard sprinkler systems • Gray water devices • Fire sprinkler systems • Additional water supplies (wells, storage tanks and second feeds) • Chemical feed gear • Food and beverage processing gear • Boilers To safeguard health, state water rules require general public water systems to build up and implement Cross-Connection Control (CCC) applications. Under these applications, some water system clients (property owners) might have to install backflow avoidance assemblies. Only authorized backflow assemblies will be installed and examined by a certified backflow assembly tester after installation, after restoration or relocation, with least annually.
