The village finds that backflow and backsiphonage of contaminants into a public water system can be a threat to public health and safety. Direct or indirect cross connections within a water distribution system, including within a water customer’s water distribution system, are among possible structural arrangements which can result in backflow and backsiphonage. In the interest of public health and safety, the village adopts the following backflow and backsiphonage prevention program and cross connection control program.
