Council adopts code update clarifying 'dual source connection' and backflow prevention requirements

The City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026‑26 to update Chapter 7‑3 of the Grantsville City Code addressing cross connections and dual source connections. Public Works Director Christy Montierth said the changes primarily replace the term “swing joint” with “dual source connection” and clarify the requirement that dual water sources must remain physically disconnected and that a reduced pressure (RP) backflow prevention assembly is required for irrigation systems using culinary water.
