Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Distribution is mandated by the EPA to develop a Backflow Prevention Program. The Backflow Prevention Program is the City's effort to prevent dangerous cross connections that have potential to backflow into the public water system. A complete and accurate survey is necessary for the health and wellbeing of the customer, and the protection of the public water system.
The survey will help the City identify businesses that do not have an acceptable cross-connection control (backflow) system in place. The selected consultant must use a cross-connection control software package for program management. The software package must be approved by the City of Toledo and be able to produce standard notices, specialized reports, and inventory of testable and non-testable backflow devices. The Division is requesting proposals to begin backflow surveys of all commercial/industrial accounts in the Toledo area.
