The Sion Improvement District, as a condition of it’s operating permit under British Columbia’s Interior Health, is required to implement a Coss Connection Control Program (CCCP) for the safety it’s community. The program involves the prevention of contamination of the water system as a result of back-siphonage or back-flow from end users that may result from a loss of pressure in the system. The program relies extensively on mitigating risk of contamination through either education or anti back-flow devices designed to prevent client’s water from flowing back into the system if a pressure failure should occur.
If you have further concerns and wish to contact the Interior Health officer about SION's back flow preventive device requirement of this ByLaw the contact information is below:
