Abstract:Both water utility employees and customers should be educated about cross connections, their causes, and prevention. Establishment of a cross connection control program should include a purpose or general policy statement, related definitions, ordinance requirements, specific system requirements, and violations and penalties. Other integral program steps are system assessment, field inspection, device testers, accident procedures, and public relations activities.
