Cross Connection Control Program
Plumbing cross-connections, which are defined as actual or potential connections between a potable and non-potable water supply, constitute a serious public health hazard. There are numerous, well-documented cases where cross-connections have been responsible for contamination of drinking water, and have resulted in the spread of disease.
All community water systems are required to have a cross connection control program.
For information concerning Cross Connection Control, visit the Environmental Protection Agency web site or to download their manual.
