Procedures for the Public Dissemination of Project Information andAssociated Augusta-Richmond CotU11y.--Code Requirements C:U:J ~rQ) D\ 1"ff"1I~<VfL-j Augusta-Richmond County Code (current edition) Lr- ...../ ...... ....~ 1. ~5-2-70 (d): Where Augusta-Richmond County water is available, no connection to the sanitary sewer system of the Commission shall be made or permitted until the consumer is supplied with water from the water system of the Commission. 2. ~5-2-70 (e): Where the sanitary sewer system of the Commission is accessible and Augusta-Richmond County water is not available, the assessment charge for the residential use of the sanitary sewer system of the Commission will be eight dollars and thirty cents ($8.30) per month. Any industrial user shall pay based upon the measured sewer in accordance with the rates set forth above. 3. ~5-3-3 (d): Sewer connection required if available. The owner of all houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes, situated within Augusta-Richmond County and abutting on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is located a public sanitary sewer of Augusta-Richmond County, is hereby required at his expense to install suitable toilet facilities therein and to connect to such facilities directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after date of official notice to do so, provided that said public sewer is within 200 feet (61 meters) of the property line. Conclusions 1. If only the public water system is available, the choice of connecting, or not connecting, is with the consumer. 2. If only the public sewer system is available, and within 200 feet of his property, the consumer has 90 days within which to connect. 3. If both the publiC water and sewer systems are available, and the sewer is within 200 feet of the consumer's property, the consumer has 90 days within which to connect to both systems. 2 Methods for Enforcement of Augusta-Richmond County Code Associated with Water and Sewer Projects Public Water System As of the writing of these procedures, property owners are not required to connect to the public water system when it becomes available to them. Therefore, a project notification will suffice. Cl7 Procedure ------' 1. Obtain list of property owners: I ~ a.

The date of Augusta's acceptance of the project c. Brochure on how to connect to public water system 3 Public Sewer System The burden is much heavier upon the property owner when a public sewer system is constructed within 200 hundred feet of his/her property. The Augusta-Richmond County Code requires the following: . If the public sewer system is available, and within 200 feet of his property, the consumer (property owner) has 90 days within which to connect. . If both the public water and sewer systems are available, and the sewer is within 200 feet of the consumer's property, the consumer has 90 days within which to connect to both systems. Therefore, . the d!ssemination of this information to t~P-fqf3e~rer must be given more consideration. ~ L- ~r~::,';~ list o~qwne~ II ~ ~ l . . a. er.o~ert~ o,^!ners fr9m wh~ easemen s will be a~.Qulred can be obtained .----- from Lamd ACq~i~ition I' \ I J ! b.IO~er\p~operty owre~, to-WAq!Jl\PtlbflC water will be made available by I i thi}s p[Oj~ct, rean be\e.~ih.ed fror:n ~IS. . . .

(A.ugusta-Richmond County Code 9J-2-70 (d)) 13 The brochure, "How to Connect to the Public Water and Sanitary Sewer Systems is enclosed with this notice. Included in this brochure is information on connection fees and rates. The requirement to tie to a public sanitary sewer system is due to the need to eliminate septic tank systems that discharge septic liquid into the ground. Because this discharge has not been fully treated, this discharge can negatively affect the groundwater and environment. By connecting to the public sanitary sewer system, the sewage is transported to a wastewater treatment facility where the sewage is treated according to current regulations prior to discharging. The Augusta Utilities Department looks forward to providing this most valuable service and is pleased to have you as a customer.

Returned Check fee $20.00 BACKFLOW PREVENTION AND CROSS- CONNECTION All new commercial/industrial facilities and new residential customers are required to install backflow prevention assemblies on the potable and fire service lines where city water is supplied to their facilities. Generallnfonnatlon The Type of Backflow Prevention Assembly is determined by Augusta as set forth in the American Water Works Association's Manual 14, Second Edition, titled Recommended Practice for BacIdlow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control. Assemblies shall have current endorsement from the University of Southern California; Foundation for Cross-Connection and Hydraulic Research, which incorporates standards A WW A CS10-89 for double check assemblies, and A WW A CSII-89 for reduced pressure zone assemblies or approved equal certifications. Augusta's Backflow Prevention Section must approve any deviation from these specifications in writing prior to the start of installation. Requirements for the le=el -~~Protection are based on the hazard category of the user"-fI rd categories define the level of hazard potentiar:e.tIiCj)Ota.!!Je ten system from backflow or cross-connection Flow/Residual Test at Fire Hydrant --!sed on the 1'kelillood of ana ~ of material subject to backflow or $100.00 - cross-co nectn.in~dent.

The Alternative to the single RPZ at the meter would be a Double Check Valve (DCV A) Backflow Prevention Assembly at the meter and one or more RPZ's inside the facility at strategic locations to provide isolation/containment protection for the municipal water system. If the DCVlRPZ installation configuration is used then all assemblies must be tested annually with the reports sent to the Backflow Prevention Office. L.

Have connection process inspected by License & Inspection Department. Connection Requirements Connection to the public sanitary sewer system is required within 90 days after the date of official notice to do so, provided the sanitary sewer system is within 200 feet (61 meters) of the property line. (See Augusta-Richmond County Code g5-3-3 (d)) If both public water and public sewer are available, connection must be made to both systems. (See Augusta- Richmond County Code g5-2-70 (d)) CA TEGORY II-MEDIUM RISK Considered to be a potential source of a pollutant. Pollutants are substances, which are objectionable in nature such as those causing discoloration, odor or taste in the water. Typical customers in this category would include commercial businesses such as grocery stores, dayc:are facilities, multifamily housing on a single meter, office buildings and any premises Including residences, with an auxiliary water supply. Water Service connections in this category are required to be protected by a minimum of a DOUBLE CHECK VALVE (DCV A) (up to three inch (3") Watts Model # 007 or equivalent, four (4") and larger Watts Model #709 or equivalent) BACKFLOW PREVENTION ASSEMBL Y AT THE METER. CA TEGORY III-LOW RISK Those considered being least likely to be a possible source of a contaminant or pollutant. Typically this category includes single family residential customers. A DUAL CHECK (OUCV) ('I." and I" Meters Walls Model #7 or Equivalent) BACKFLOW PREVENTION ASSEMBLY AT THE METER shall protect the water service connections to these customers.
