Participate in Our Water System!
Running our system is a team effort. We have a great staff committed to the daily operations, while the The purpose of this letter is to notify Realtors and title companies about the Cross-Connection Control (CCC) policy implemented by Camano Water association (CWA).
Effective April 1st, 2015, CWA is in the process of planning to install double-check/backflow prevention devices to the water meters this will include all sales of existing homes, installing a new meter for a new house, high risk (homes with irrigation systems, hot tubs, etc.), and in addition a specific group of meters that we will determine. We hope to install about 100 each year until the entire system is complete.
The purpose of the CCC program is to protect the public water system as defined in the Washington administrative code (WAC 246-290-490) from contamination via backflow. Obviously, this is a very short explanation, but the WAC is very in-depth.
The amount CWA has determined for this is $900 and it will be charged to the buyer since they will receive benefit from the CCC. The seller has not received the benefit from it yet. We have enclosed information about the CCC from the Department of Health (DOH) for your reference and you can visit the website www.doh.wa.gov.
