Chapter 30, Article V, Section Cross-connection Control and Prevention

Backflow Devices: The City of Pearland is responsible for protecting the drinking water supply from contamination or pollution which could result from improper private distribution system construction or configuration. This serves as a notice to the customer of the restrictions in place to provide this protection. The City enforces these restrictions to ensure public health and welfare. Your acceptance of water services acknowledges that the City may do annual backflow inspections to any new or existing devices. If the customer fails to comply with the terms of the backflow requirements, the City will either terminate service, properly install, test and/or maintain an appropriate backflow prevention device at the service connection. Any expenses incurred by the City to enforce Chapter 30, Article V, Section 30-126 shall be billed to the customer.
