Additional Information
Backflow Prevention
Backflow Prevention helps protect the city water system from pollution and contamination via connections to private water systems. This program is established by Ordinance and is referenced in the Prescott City Code, and has been in effect since 1992.
A backflow preventer is a valve assembly that prevents water from flowing backwards into the water supply line. The device is installed on the outflow side (towards the house) of the water meter to protect the community water supply.

Industrial Pretreatment
The Industrial Pretreatment Program is in the development stage and currently a draft Ordinance is being prepared. It is the goal of this program to protect the following: the wastewater collection system, the wastewater treatment and reclamation facilities, surface waters, and the groundwater which receives recharge from the City of Prescott. Those goals will be achieved by permitting, monitoring, and sampling discharge from Industrial and Commercial users that are identified through the program as possible contributors of harmful substances.
