What is cross-connection control and how does it protect the public drinking water system?
Cross-connection control is the elimination or isolation of a physical link between the public water distribution system and any foreign substance. It prevents the contamination of the public drinking water by not allowing the reverse flow of water from a contaminate source back into the drinking water system.
