Cross Connection
We are committed to providing full Cross Connection Management Program including required testing, certification, repair, replacement, and installation of backflow preventers.
We offer services that include various backflow prevention needs including but not limited to the testing only. We specialize in the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the backflow prevention assemblies, as well as the site surveys for cross connection prevention control compliance. Each test result is stored and maintained in our database, and sent to both the customer and local agencies having jurisdiction over cross connection control program.
Our dedication to cross connection prevention management helps us to deliver the most reliable and effective backflow prevention service. Our priority is the maintaining of public safety and the compliance with cross connection regulations and ordinance. Public safety depends on public health; therefore, it is our common responsibility to protect drinking water against pollutants and contaminants.
Together, we can make a difference in protecting public health by participating in Cross Connection Prevention Management.
Plumbing Cross Connections, which are defined as actual or potential connections between a potable and non-potable water supply, constitute a serious public health hazard. There are numerous, well-documented cases where Cross Connections have been responsible for the contamination of drinking water, and have resulted in the spread of disease. The problem is a dynamic one, since piping systems are continually being installed, altered, or extended.
Control of Cross Connections is possible, but only through knowledge and vigilance. Education is essential, because even those who are experienced in piping installations fail to recognize Cross Connection possibilities and dangers. All municipalities with public water supply systems should have Cross Connection control programs. Those responsible for institutional or private water supplies should also be familiar with the dangers of Cross Connections and should exercise careful surveillance of their systems.
