WV SB269

Creates two classifications for backflow prevention assemblies in public water systems: low-hazard and high-hazard systems

Low-hazard backflow prevention assemblies, defined as those that could cause aesthetic problems or secondary effects on water quality, may not be required to be inspected more frequently than once every three years

High-hazard backflow prevention assemblies, defined as systems conducive to introducing disease organisms or harmful chemical, physical, or radioactive substances that present unreasonable health risks, must be inspected annually

Updates statutory language throughout to replace references to "commissioner" with "secretary" to reflect current Department of Health organizational structure

All maintenance activities for backflow prevention assemblies must be documented and provided to the secretary upon request
