Published on: 19342787. waiver from Petitioner, Photonico, LLC. The petition requested a waiver from Rule 62-555.360(2)(a), F.A.C., which requires that each community water system (CWS) establish and implement a cross-connection control program utilizing backflow protection at or for service connections in order to protect the CWS from contamination caused by cross-connections on customers’premises. The property is located 10935 SE 177th Place, #305, Summerfield, Florida 34491; OGC No. 17-0953.
Published on: 14570193. David W. R. Brown vs. Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Health; Case No.: 13-3500RX; Rule No.: 62-555.360; Dismissed
Published on: 13703692. These rules are being amended to significantly reduce the overall regulatory burden of cross-connection control requirements on community water systems (CWSs) and their residential customers by: (1) allowing a dual check device to be used as backflow protection at residential service connections from CWSs to premises where there is any type of auxiliary or reclaimed water system; and (2) allowing biennial instead of annual testing of backflow preventer assemblies required at residential service connections from CWSs. Also, these rules are being amended to clarify, and thus, achieve more consistent compliance with, cross-connection control requirements for public water systems (PWSs). Furthermore, these rules are being amended to require large CWSs—i.e., CWSs serving more than 10,000 persons—to submit cross-connection control program annual reports using a brief new two-page form. The new reporting requirement will be a slight additional burden on large CWSs, but the annual reports will enable the Department to better ascertain the operational adequacy of large CWSs and more efficiently conduct sanitary surveys of large CWSs. (About 91% of the Florida residents who obtain their drinking water from a CWS are served by a large CWS even though large CWSs comprise only about 14% of the total number of CWSs in Florida.)
