Referring to the City's Wastewater Master Plan from August <br /> 2007, PF shall be the average of the three events shown on Table 4.5 "Inflow and <br /> Infiltration Analysis" for each subbasin. The Basin I.D. is from Figure ES-3. Minimum <br /> allowable PF = 2.0. <br /> Backflow prevention devices must be installed if the lowest plumbing fixture in the <br /> building is lower than the downstream cleanout overflow device or manhole to assure <br /> effluent discharge outside of the building in case the downstream pipe network becomes <br /> obstructed. <br /> Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) controls: Discharge of FOG to the City's sanitary sewer <br /> system shall conform to Pleasanton Municipal Code Chapter 15.44.
