The Village of Tequesta maintains an active Cross Connection Control (CCC) Program in accordance
with state statutes to protect the potable water supply from contaminants and pollutants at the point of
connection and to ensure that proper backflow preventers are installed where hazards exist. This
program is comprehensive and applies to all customers connected to the potable water system.
The CCC Program was implemented in 1990 through Ordinance 411 and is referenced in Section 50-
186 of the Code of Ordinances. All aspects of the CCC Program are detailed in the CCC Plan
attached to Ordinance 411. The CCC Plan is part of the Village Utility Policies and Procedures, which
includes the Water Service Policy, CCC Plan, Design Criteria & Specifications, Standard Details,
Rate Schedule and other policies and procedures adopted by the Village Council, as all of the same
may be amended from time to time.
Florida Statutes related to backflow prevention have been amended numerous times since the
inception of the Village CCC Program requiring update to the 30+ year old CCC Plan. In order to
amend the CCC Plan a corresponding modification to Section 50-186 of the Code of Ordinances is
needed to allow for the Council to approve updates to the plan moving forward as required. The
