DHH requirement for most types of businesses/developments. BR Water also requires them where you tap from their main.

The municipal line can sometimes experience a reduction in pressure. If the pressure in the private line exceeds that pressure, water will backflow from the private line into the municipal line. If the water in the private line is contaminated, then it will contaminate the municipal feed. This actually happened in New Orleans last year.
