TYPE OF PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT  
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM    
Addition of one (1) full time technical staff member to the Engineering Division for the following:
             Backflow Prevention and Cross Connection Control Program  
 
 
 
 
 
 
BENEFITS OF FUNDING PROGRAM    
The Cross Connection Control Ordinance - 6293, approved and adopted in 1992 requires that all backflow devices are installed are tested and maintained on an annual basis.  The most recent records (2005) indicate that approximately 20% of the device owners are not in compliance with the annual testing and record keeping required.  This positon will assist in efforts towards compliance and will ultimately add a level of protection of drinking water and public health by preventing contamination.
   
   
ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE    
   
   
       
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING PROGRAM    
Failure to fund the new position will result in additional decline in ordinance compliance.  Staff currently assigned to the program will have to carve more time in their day to work on the program and less on-site inspection of distribution system installation will result.
