What is cross-connection control and why is it important?

The methods, practices and procedures used to prevent contamination or pollution of drinking water from backflow through cross-connections is called cross-connection control. It ensures that your drinking water remains safe from bacteria, chemicals, and other substances that may enter the water from unknown or improperly maintained sources because of abnormal pressure changes.
