Backflow prevention device means a device that prevents the undesirable reversal of flow of water within a piping system.

Cooling system means a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system that uses water for cooling purposes. Cycles of concentration means a measure of the number of times the solids content of recirculating water has been increased over that of the make-up water Example: If the circulating water has four times the solids concentration compared to that of the make up water, then the cycles of concentration is four. Decorative water features means features such as fountains, waterfalls, landscape lakes or ponds, and other aesthetic features where the use is entirely ornamental and serves no other functional purpose Design pressure means the desired head pressure plus all pressure losses that occur when supplying water to a specific head. Director means the director of the Water and Wastewater Department, or a I person designated by the director to act in his or her behalf, including the water conservation coordinator. 14
