B1.2 Utility System Points of Demarcation
The point of demarcation is defined as the point on the utility system where ownership changes from the utility system owner to the facility owner. Table 9 below identifies the type and general location of the point of demarcation with respect to the facility for each scenario.
Table 9
Utility System POD
Water Distribution System Tyndall AFB
| Point of Demarcation (POD) |
| Applicable Scenario |
| Sketch |
| POD is at the water meter, backflow device, or valve (closest apparatus to the exterior of the structure). |
| Water meter, backflow device, or valve is located on the service line entering the structure within 25 feet of the exterior of the structure. |
POD is where the service line enters the structure.
No water meter, backflow device, or valve exists on the service line entering the structure. Service valve may be within 25 feet of the structure at any time. Down stream side of the service valve will become the new point of demarcation.
| If the fire suppression system has a storage tank, then the POD is located on the inlet side of the isolation valve or backflow prevention device closest to the storage tank. If no storage tank is present, the POD is located on the inlet side of the PIV or isolation valve closest to the fire suppression pumps. |
| Fire suppression system is provided flow and/or pressure by the potable water distribution system. These systems are typically dedicated to serving one facility or a small cluster of facilities. |
| None |
| POD is located on the inlet side of the PIV, isolation valve, or backflow prevention device closest to the fire suppression system. |
| Fire suppression system is connected to the potable water distribution system. |
| None |
| POD for irrigation systems is the inlet side of the backflow prevention device or isolation valve closest to the irrigation system. |
| Irrigation system is fed directly from potable water distribution system. |
| None |
POD is the inlet side of the hose bib or water fountain assembly’s connection to the service lateral.
Note: A service valve may be installed within 25 feet of the hose bib or water fountain at any time. Once installed, the inlet side of the service valve becomes the new POD.
| Drinking Fountains and Hose Bibs connected to the water distribution system (typically found at ball fields and outdoor recreation areas). No valve is located on the lateral providing water service to the drinking fountain or hose bib within 25 feet of these connections. |
| None |
| POD is the inlet side of the service valve. |
| Drinking Fountains and Hose Bibs connected to the water distribution system (typically found at ball fields and outdoor recreation areas). Service valve is located on the lateral providing water service to the drinking fountain or hose bib within 25 feet of these water use devices. |
| None |
POD is at the overhead service line’s connection to the service entrance mast.
Note: If an electric meter is present, or is to be installed, the owner of the electric distribution system on the installation is the owner and maintainer of the electric meter and the can. The POD for the electric meter is at the water utility owner’s conductors to the electric utility owner’s conductors. This meter POD applies regardless of the location of the electric utility owner’s meter. The water utility owner will own the service entrance mast.
| Electric power is provided to a water facility via an overhead service drop. This configuration could be found at facilities dedicated to the water utility such as a water well, pump station, or water tower. |
| None |
POD is at the transformer secondary terminal spade.
Note: If an electric meter is present, or is to be installed, the owner of the electric distribution system on the installation is the owner and maintainer of the electric meter. The POD for the meter is at the water utility owner’s conductors to the electric utility owner’s conductors. This meter POD applies regardless of the location of the electric meters and transformers.
| Electric power is provided to a water facility via an underground service connection. This configuration could be found at facilities dedicated to the water utility such as a water well, pump station, or water tower. |
| None |
