A cross-connection is an actual or potential connection between the safe drinking water (potable) supply and a source of contamination or pollution. State plumbing codes require approved backflow prevention methods to be installed at every point of potable water connection and use. Cross-Connections must be properly protected or eliminate

HydroCorp has been contracted by Crestview Water & Sanitation District to assist with their Cross-connection Control (CCC) Program. The CCC program includes two parts: On site inspections and testing of backflow prevention assemblies. The HydroCorp inspector will be conducting a visual inspection of the water uses outside of your facility (outside spigots, lawn irrigation system, secondary sources of water, pools, etc.) to identify cross-connections that could possibly contaminate your drinking water or the public water supply. If Crestview requires an inspector to enter your facility to evaluate other cross-connection and plumbing hazards inside your residence, you will be notified and instructed to schedule an appointment for your inspection.

Crestview has had a CCC program for years, which began with inspections of all of the commercial and industrial accounts. Denver Water has been conducting the inspections in the past however, Crestview will be utilizing HydroCorp to perform these site surveys beginning January 1, 2025.
