6/18/2019 elementary school follow up Gastineau, Janet <janet.gastineau@dnr.iowa.gov> Mon, Jun 17, 1:30 PM (1 day ago) to Osceola 1. There is information about lead and copper sampling in schools at our website: https://www.iowadnr.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water-Quality/Drinking-Water-Compliance/Additional-Information scroll down and you'll see Lead Information: Schools & Child Daycares. 2. John Kelley is the contact at the Iowa Department of Public Health and he can answer any cross connection control questions. State Plumbing Code John Kelly (515) 724-9961 http://www.idph.state.ia.us/PMSB/Code.aspx 3. I was way off on population of a city that has to have a cross connection control program--For cities with populations of 15,000 or greater as determined by the 2010 census or any subsequent regular or special census shall have a backflow prevention program with containment. Osceola is too small. 4. EPA has a manual at https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyNET.exe/2000262T.TXT?ZyActionD=ZyDocument&Client=EPA&Index=2000+Thru+2005&Docs=&Query=&Time=&EndTime=&SearchMethod=1&TocRestrict=n&Toc=&TocEntry=&QField=&QFieldYear=&QFieldMonth=&QFieldDay=&IntQFieldOp=0&ExtQFieldOp=0&XmlQuery=&File=D%3A%5Czyfiles%5CIndex%20Data%5C00thru05%5CTxt%5C00000007%5C2000262T.txt&User=ANONYMOUS&Password=anonymous&SortMethod=h%7C-&MaximumDocuments=1&FuzzyDegree=0&ImageQuality=r75g8/r75g8/x150y150g16/i425&Display=hpfr&DefSeekPage=x&SearchBack=ZyActionL&Back=ZyActionS&BackDesc=Results%20page&MaximumPages=1&ZyEntry=1&SeekPage=x&ZyPURL 5.

Visit the BSI online tracking website or call BSI directly at: 800-414-4990 is the company I was thinking of that tracks devices/testing for cities. Don't try to create your own ordinance. Look at other cities, like Ankeny. http://library.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Iowa/ankeny_ia/codeofordinancesofthecityofankenyiowa?f=templates$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:ankeny_ia JANET GASTINEAU
