In an effort to protect the public water system, the City of Hot Springs comprehensive cross-connection control program will begin sending routine surveys to commercial customers, as mandated by the Arkansas Department of Health.
More information and paper copies of the surveys will be mailed to commercial customers beginning on Friday, Oct. 9. Representatives have 30 days within receipt of the letter to email the completed survey to Michael Deroche at mderoche@cityhs.net, fax it to 501-624-6528, or complete it online www.cityhs.net/crossconnectsurvey.
Upon review of each completed survey, the City will determine if backflow protection is required for each location. For those in which such protection is believed to be needed, the commercial customer will receive a follow-up letter. Otherwise, customers will be placed on a re-survey schedule based on the degree of possible hazard for each facility. Failure to return the questionnaire may result in an on-site inspection by the City.
For questions or more information, contact Deroche at 501-651-7736.
