What is my liability as a building owner property manager and water purveyor?
Legally, the “purveyor” of the water supply is responsible for the water quality and for implementing and maintaining a cross connection control program in order to prevent the contamination of the public water system. The water purveyor is the public water department, up to and including the service connection from the water main. From the outlet of the water meter or service connection including all piping down downstream inside the owner?s premise, the legal purveyor of the water supply is actually the property owner.
