HELP US TO ENSURE A SAFE WATER SUPPLY - REPORT ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES OF CROSS-CONNECTION TO (330) 828-2221.

Backflow Prevention

What is Backflow?

Backflow can be described as "a reversal of the normal direction of flow within a piping system or as "the flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the distribution pipes of a potable water supply from any source other then the intended source of the potable water supply.

The potential for a backflow condition occurring in a water system is all too likely in many of our homes, factories and public buildings. The existence of improper plumbing connections presents cross-connections that may, under backflow conditions, permit the water to flow the wrong way within the piping.

The probability of backflow taking place at any given outlet may actually be very small. But in view of the large number of service connections, the multiple cross-connections at each service connection and the potential for cross-connections to be created, than the probability becomes very significant and must be dealt with in a positive manner.

What is Cross-Connection?

A cross-connection can be described as “any arrangement whereby backflow can occur”, or as “any arrangement of pipes, fittings, fixtures, or devices that connects a non-potable water system to a potable water system”. It is the point at which a water-using fixture is connected to the water user's potable water system.

An unprotected cross-connection provides the path or route through which backflow can occur.
It can be:

Permanent or temporary
Actual or potential
Direct (subject to backpressure & back siphonage) such as a boiler or indirect (subject to back siphonage only) such as a toilet tank fill valve

Some of the more common examples are:

boiler make-up lines
chiller make-up lines
fire protection systems
spray hoses
suction tees or aspirators
urinals
tanks or vats with a submerged inlet
X-ray & photo developing equipment
irrigation systems
commercial grade dishwashers
hand-held lawn sprayers
pressure washers
commercial grade garbage disposals or grinders
soap, sanitizer, or wax induction systems
a janitor's sink with a hose attached
hose bibs with a hose attached
toilet tanks

Please report any suspected cross-connections to the Village of Dalton at (330) 828-2221.

Play For All

Play For All is a small group of parents and educators working to raise money with a goal of building a playground at Dalton Elementary that is accessible to all children. Play For All is committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to interact freely with their peers. Currently, the playground does not meet the needs of students with physical, visual, or cognitive disabilities, thus limiting social engagement, and we are hoping to change that with an inclusive playground. This would be the first playground of its kind in our area, and would be beneficial to all residents who visit the playground. The new playground equipment will include completely resurfacing the area, as well as equipment that is wheelchair accessible. This is a huge undertaking, but will be well worth it for all of our children. As of July 2024, Play for All has raised $200,000, working towards a goal of $900,000 to fund the entire project. To donate, please make checks payable to Dalton Local Schools with the memo “Playground.” Checks can be mailed or dropped off at the Board Office during normal hours.

For more information, please visit the website: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/423cad17/zarCAdbG9ka3FPc2BEvhfw?u=https://www.daltonlocal.org/play-for-all
