water system but are expensive and hard to gauge early on in a project. He further asked for
clarification on how the City is conveying the need of a backflow preventer in the proper
circumstance when requesting bids.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison addressed Council regarding how
plans are reviewed and what staff is doing to make sure contractors know how to install and when
to install backflow preventers.
Mayor Pro-Tem Perez asked staff with respect to the criteria listed in the policy would it require
any commercial property to have a backflow preventer.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated not all commercial development
would be required to install a backflow preventer but any development that has the potential for
containments or cross connections would be required to install a backflow preventor.
Mayor Pro-Tem stated there needs to be a clause in the Engineering Design Criteria Manual
that states specifically what uses require a backflow preventer, in addition to where it can be
located and secured.
Director of Engineering and Capital Projects Robert Upton stated that during predevelopment
meetings with Developers these issues are addressed.
Councilmember Hernandez asked staff if this would be retroactive to residential builds without a

requirement and asked staff if there was a way to provide relief to small businesses that will have
to incur this cost.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated the permit fees would fall on the technicians that would be
performing the work.
Councilmember Moore asked staff if there is a target year of build that is going to be looked at for
these inspections due to newer builds are more likely to have the needed backflow preventers.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated most areas already are in
compliance and there is no target neighborhood or year of build to look at.
Councilmember Carbone stated a home with a pool and irrigation system will have two backflow
preventers and asked staff if that means those homes would have to have a test done on their
system.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated those homes would be required
to have those test performed and any issues would have to be addressed.
Mayor Pro-Tem Perez stated at this point it is a requirement of the Texas Commission on
environmental Quality and homes will have to comply.
Director of Public Works Clarence Wittwer stated these tests are a requirement of the Clean Water
Act and it essentially states that any water line that has the potential to release contaminants in
the system must have a backflow preventer.
Councilmember Hernandez asked staff if there was a program that can be put together for low
income families to help with septic issues and help install a backflow preventer.
Director of Public Works Clarence Wittwer stated staff will look into the existence of a program for
low income family to assist with septic system issues.
Mayor Pro-Tem Perez asked staff how they plan on reaching out to residents and letting them
know an inspection of their backflow preventer will be required.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated staff will communicate through
the City of Pearland's backflow webpage, flyers will go out with the water bill and staff will host
community events to raise awareness of the requirement.
Mayor Pro-Tem Perez asked staff what is the penalty for not complying with this regulation.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated penalty would include a fine or
termination of water service until compliance.
Page 6 of 11
Councilmember Moore asked staff how much time will be allowed to a resident to complete the
requirements.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated the plan is between 30 and 60
days once the program is in place.
Councilmember Moore stated the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality website reads
that a homeowner can install the backflow preventer without the City certification.
Backflow Compliance Program Coordinator Mike Morrison stated that is true that an unlicensed
homeowner can do the work, however the homeowner would have to get a certified inspector to
certify the work.
