By Representative Lambert

     On page 3, after line 11, insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 19.27 RCW to read as follows:

     The owner of a building classified as a group R, division 3 occupancy, as defined in the state building code adopted under this chapter, shall have the backflow prevention assembly tested by a department of health certified backflow assembly tester:

     (1) at the time of installation, repair, or relocation, if required by the local official, board, department, or agency authorized to administer and enforce the provisions of the uniform plumbing code as adopted under this chapter; or

     (2) when such official, board, department, or agency finds that cross‑connection control within the property lines of the premises may fail to prevent pollution or contamination of the domestic water supply."

     Correct the title.

EFFECT:  Provides that, instead of once every year, an owner of a residential dwelling must test backflow prevention assemblies at the time of installation, repair, or relocation, if required by the local official, or when the local official finds that cross-connection control may fail to prevent pollution or contamination of the domestic water supply.
