This slide presentation outlines information on containment devices for backflow prevention. They are part of an assembly that separates the public water supply from the customer's water inside a building, specifically hospitals in the Louisville, Kentucky, Water Company Distribution area. The presentation also mentions isolation devices that are backflow preventers that protect the potable water within a facility from contamination. Isolation devices must be used on equipment that utilize potable water in their processes. The presentation provides pictures of a typical hospital installation, a containment device, a direct cross connection where a backflow preventer is needed, and mentions the importance of education and public relations.
