In order to ensure compliance with federal, state and local regulations, the City is required to administer regulatory programs for Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control, Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) reduction, and Brewery Discharge monitoring. 

These programs were developed to protect the City’s water supply from backflow events, and to minimize the potential for sanitary sewer overflows.
