What is a cross-connection?
A plumbing cross-connection is defined as a connection between public water supply and a source of contamination or pollution. In other words, a cross-connection makes it possible for the contaminating material to enter into drinking water supply when the pressure of the polluted source is greater than the pressure of the water supply. This can result in either a back siphonage or backflow (a reversal in the normal direction of water flow).
Hopefully, your local water system will never have a backflow problem that could endanger the welfare of its citizens. However, because potential backflow problems exist, it is important for YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY to complete the following survey.
