Cross Connection Control & Backflow Prevention Program
Park City Public Utilities works hard to ensure the safety of your drinking water. Our Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program plays a vital role in preventing contamination of drinking water caused by backflow through a metered connection.
Park City Public Utilities is pleased to announce our enhanced program, which requires the submission of backflow test reports online. This takes effect on March 27, 2023. All testers will be required to enter their certified test results here.
We will no longer accept paper copies of the test results. Our goals with implementing this software include improved compliance, an increase in on-time backflow tests, and reduced administrative burden. There is no charge for this program.
Water distribution systems are designed so that water flows in one direction from the treatment plant or pumping facility to the customer. Backflow is an undesirable flow reversal of water and other substances into Park City's distribution system. Even though the water that reaches your home or business is safe, it can be contaminated by a backflow incident within your own piping that could also contaminate or otherwise degrade water quality in the water distribution system.
Federal and state laws require public water systems to protect their systems from cross connections and backflow. Park City Public Utilities takes every precaution to prevent cross connections by working closely with consumers, contractors, engineers, and regulators to ensure that all those who are required to comply with cross-connection control and backflow prevention meet the requirements.
