No customer shall allow or cause the construction or maintenance of a cross connection. A cross connection is any physical arrangement, including non-working cross connection control devices, whereby a public water supply is directly connected, either continuously or intermittently, with any contaminated or otherwise un-potable liquid or material that may be imparted to the public water supply. The policy of Marion Utility Service Board (MUSB) further addresses cross connection and backflow hazards, application and installation requirements, testing, inspection, and compliance issues in keeping with the Indiana Administrative Code, as further referenced therein. The Cross Connection Control Policy of MUSB is hereby incorporated by reference into this section. MUSB does not assume responsibility for damage, sickness, or death arising from the existence of a cross connection or from the use or failure of a backflow prevention device, whether approved or not approved.
