An ongoing program which identifies cross connections and requires the appropriate assembly to be
properly installed, tested, and maintained is essential to fulfill most requirements. However, if your
governing body does not have requirements, there is still the issue of protecting the water from
contamination and pollution and the purveyor from potential liability issues. Drinking water is a precious,
nonreplenishable commodity which must be protected from the source, through the distribution system, and
to the consumer. Implementing and maintaining a cross connection control program can seem like an
overwhelming task. Setting up a program on a strong foundation makes the program affordable, manageable
and defendable.
The components of a successful program are outlined in this paper and include: training and certification; develop an enforcement document; public education; record keeping; inspections/surveys; assembly installation, testing, maintenance & repair; and, ongoing enforcement.
