After maintenance work is performed on an elevated tank, the tank must be sterilized. The initial fill water for sterilizing is a strong chlorine solution, unsuitable for drinking. Loss of system pressure during the fill period could cause backflow into the drinking water distribution system, creating a serious threat to public health. This article lists materials and construction information for a portable backflow prevention device and cart.
