Cross Connection Links

Cross-connections can occur at many points throughout a distribution system and a community's plumbing infrastructure. Cross-connections can be identified by looking for physical interconnections (or arrangements) between a customer's plumbing and the water system.

Some specific examples of backflow incidents that can occur are:

• - Lawn chemicals backflowing (backsiphoning) through a garden hose into indoor plumbing and potentially into the distribution system.
• - Backsiphonage of "blue water" from a toilet into a building's water supply.
• - Carbonated water from a restaurant's soda dispenser entering a water system due to backpressure.
• - Backflow of boiler corrosion control chemicals into an office building's water supply.
