What can you
do to prevent cross connections and keep your drinking water safe.
1. Check
your faucets to be sure that all faucet endpoints are
above the flood level of the sink, tub, basin or other apparatus they supply.
2. Protect
faucet extensions by installing proper backflow prevention
devices (i.e. hose bib vacuum breakers) on all faucets capable of having a hose
or other extension attached.
3. Check
drain lines (refrigerator drink dispensers, water
softeners, heat exchangers, etc.) to be sure there is an adequate air gap
between the drain line and the floor drain or sewer line into which they
discharge.
4. Never
use unprotected faucets to fill non-drinking water containers
(i.e. water beds, wading pools, stock tanks, hot tubs, etc.)
Following
these guidelines and using common sense will help to eliminate the possibility
of you contaminating your drinking water, your
neighbor’s drinking
water and your community’s drinking
water. This not only affects the
residents of your community, but their visitors and those people who are
passing through.
