Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, is looking for feedback as it drafts a new bylaw for protecting drinking water. The County is developing a new backflow prevention bylaw to help protect drinking water in industrial, commercial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings from cross-connection contamination. The proposed backflow prevention bylaw will require industrial, commercial, institutional (ICIs), and multi-residential buildings located in Northumberland County to review connections within their plumbing systems to ensure proper backflow prevention devices are installed to protect drinking water from potential contamination. The draft bylaw will be presented for public review and feedback at two upcoming open house sessions on Tuesday, August 16. The open house sessions are from 1 to 4 p.m. and from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the county building, located at 600 William St. in Cobourg.
