Glasgow Cross-Connections Prohibited ordinance (§ 705.030)
Chapter 705: Cross-Connection Control
In short: Water service can't be connected or kept to a property with actual or possible cross-connections to the drinking water system unless they're controlled to the Water Purveyor's satisfaction and as Missouri DNR rules require. Auxiliary water supplies need approval from both, and plumbing must meet acceptable practices.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
A. No water service connection shall be installed or maintained to any premises where actual or potential cross-connections to the public potable or consumer's water system may exist unless such actual or potential cross-connections are abated or controlled to the satisfaction of the Water Purveyor, and as required by the laws and regulations of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
B. No connection shall be installed or maintained whereby an auxiliary water supply may enter a public potable or consumer's water system unless such auxiliary water supply and the method of connection and use of such supply shall have been approved by the Water Purveyor and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
C. No water service connection shall be installed or maintained to any premises in which the plumbing system, facilities and fixtures have not been constructed and installed using acceptable plumbing practices considered by the Water Purveyor as necessary for the protection of health and safety.
