Council moved to adopt Ordinance 2026‑10 amending Title 8, Chapter 5, to strengthen requirements for backflow prevention and cross‑connection controls. Staff explained the amendment provides city personnel authority to perform annual inspections, closes grandfathering loopholes, and requires homeowners to bring systems up to code when deficiencies are found to prevent contamination of the culinary water supply.
A staff member introduced the motion to adopt the ordinance. Members noted the state requires protections against backflow and that stronger annual inspection authority will help the city identify and remedy improper connections. The ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote; staff will implement an inspection schedule and inform affected property owners about compliance steps.
