Why is a Cross-Connection Control Program So Important?

A cross-connection control program is not only critical from a public health perspective, but also in preventing significant exposure, litigation, and financial loss to anyone not in compliance with this important regulation.

It Protects Public Health.

Normally, water in a home or building flows in one direction. Under certain conditions, water can actually flow backwards; this is known as backflow, which can introduce contaminants into the drinking water supply with dangerous – even lethal – consequences.

It’s The Law.

State and local regulations and plumbing code requires approved backflow prevention methods to be installed at every point of potable water connection and use. Fines, penalties and the loss of water service are all possible if non-compliant. Furthermore, if contamination occurs and an individual or a group of individuals or their property suffers damage due to a backflow incident, they may seek damages from the municipality and the entity that contributed to the contamination.
