CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROL PROGRAM TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY

Any unprotected connection to the water system that causes the flow of water or other liquids, gases, mixtures or substances into the distributing pipes, can potentially contaminate the potable water supply.  By-pass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, and swivel or changeover devices are some of the types of connections that can cause this problem.

The District is requiring Cross-Connection Protection Devices whenever back-flow protection has been found necessary.  The District will require the water user to install an approved backflow prevention device, at the customers expense, before a new service will be granted.

Reference the District Ordinance Division XI.  for details on this requirement.
