§ 52.66 CROSS-CONNECTIONS.

   (A)   No cross-connections of any kind shall be permitted between the water supply from the Department’s mains and the water supply from any other sources.

   (B)   A CROSS-CONNECTION is defined as any physical connection whereby the Department’s water supply is connected with any other water system, whether public or private, either inside or outside of any building or buildings, in such a manner that a flow of water into the Department’s water supply is possible, either through a manipulation of valves or because of any defective check or back pressure valves, or by any other arrangement.

   (C)   The Department is required by law to disconnect water service to existing customers where there is concern that a cross-connection exists that could lead to contamination of the water supply with pollutants. The existing residential, commercial, agricultural or industrial customer may be notified, if contamination has not occurred, and given up to 30 days notice to correct the problem at the Department's discretion. The Department reserves the right to deny service to new residential, commercial, agricultural or other industrial customer until proper back flow prevention devices have been installed to protect the integrity of the water supply.
