Cross-Connection Policy
When drinking water piping connects to various plumbing fixtures or water utilizing equipment, a cross-connection is created. If improperly protected, contamination can result when a back-flow event occurs, allowing contaminates to reverse flow from the fixture/equipment back into the drinking water piping. Click below to view our Cross-Connection Policy.  If you have any questions about how this applies or affects you, please call our office (865) 982-3560.
