The current regulation was <br /> adopted in 1986. <br /> When the regulation was adopted, it did not address the primary piece of fire service; that is a backflow <br /> device that protects our potable water from possibly contaminated water. The current regulation can be <br /> interpreted to mean the City owns the complete fire service. It has never been administered that way by the <br /> City or any other municipality. <br /> The purpose of this proposed amendment is to eliminate any possible confusion, and clarify that the City is <br /> not taking responsibility or ownership for the backflow device. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an Ordinance relating to Utility Fire Service Connection, amending <br /> Section 48 of Ordinance 1237-86 (EMC 14.16.480). <br /> 15 <br />
