(b) Any owner of a public community water system who requires the installation of a backflow prevention device pursuant to (a) above shall have a cross connection control plan in effect which has been developed in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's "Cross-connection Control Manual," June 1989, EPA 470/9-89 007, as revised and/or supplemented from time to time, and which has been approved by the Department.
