1. Purpose
These rules establish the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) decision-making criteria for the Backflow Device Reimbursement Program. These rules reinforce the following City program goals:
A. To reduce risk of sewer backup in dwellings; and
B. To provide equitable assistance for impacted property owners.
2. Definitions
These rules rely on a number of program-specific terms as defined in Portland City Code (PCC) Chapters 17.04 and 17.32:
A. “Facial Challenge” means a challenge to a requirement that is based on an argument that the requirement cannot be applied fairly or reasonably in any situation. By contrast, an as-applied challenge is one based on an argument that a requirement should not be applied to the challenger’s particular situation because of factors that, in the challenger’s view, distinguish it from similar situations.
3. Regulatory Authority
These rules are authorized by PCC Section 3.13.040. These rules implement PCC section 17.32.120.
