For Immediate Release

Cross Connection Spartanburg Water customers who use irrigation systems for
green lawns will be able to save some green as a result of modifications to
the testing requirements for the systems.
At a recent meeting, the Spartanburg Water System
Commissioners approved modifications to the policy for testing of
residential irrigation systems. The changes could save some customers up to
$125 per year. The Cross Connection Control Policy was established to
prevent contamination of the public water system that can occur when the
drinking water supply is connected to another water source.
One of the places this can happen is where a residential irrigation
or sprinkler system is hooked up to the drinking water supply.
Prior to the changes in the policy that were just
approved, customers with low hazard residential sprinkler systems were
required to install the same type of protective devices as those with high
hazard systems, and to have them tested, repaired or replaced every year.
A certified contractor was required to do the testing.
Spartanburg Water now installs the needed
protection devices for low hazard
systems at the time of meter installation or change out,
and has responsibility for replacing
them when required. The changes only apply to low hazard residential sprinkler
systems. The requirements for
high hazard lawn irrigation systems have not changed. For more information, please contact Spartanburg Water
customer service at 582-6375.
