Cross-Connection Control Program

Print

What are cross-connections?:  A cross-connection is an actual or potential unprotected connection between a potable water system and any source or system containing unapproved water or a substance which is not safe. Examples of potential cross-connections include:

  • Improperly installed irrigation systems.
  • Improperly plumbed water-using devices such as hot-tubs, boilers or commercial dishwashers.

  • Irrigation systems served by an auxiliary source that is intertied with the domestic system.
  • Interconnections between the potable system and a nonpotable system.
Purpose of Cross-Connection Control Program: Water provided by a public water system may be contaminated via cross-connections within the user’s distribution system. Cross-connections can be eliminated either by installing appropriate backflow prevention assemblies or ensuring that water-using equipment is installed in accordance with plumbing code requirements and good practice.

How to Comply: The program consists of identification of hazards and protection of the system from these hazards. The program is to be adapted to the size and complexity of the system. The following are the required elements and necessary actions:  
  • Water System Adopt Ordinance/Policy – Establishes authority for water system to carry out program.  Indicates who is responsible for installing and testing devices.

  • Identification of Hazards – Conduct survey. The survey shall be conducted by someone approved by the Drinking Water Protection Service Program.

  • Protection of System - Abate the potential cross-connection by ensuring compliance with plumbing codes, installing appropriate backflow prevention assemblies and other means.

A list of Approved Backflow Prevention Assemblies is available through the California Department of Public Health website.
