A “cross connection” is an unprotected actual or potential piping or
plumbing arrangement between a customer's piping system and the public
water system through which a substance other than potable water could
flow back into the public system.
In 2010 the Cross Connection Control & Backflow prevention program
was approved by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Drinking
Water and adopted by the City of Norton. Under the program the City of
Norton is required by the Virginia Department of Health Office of
Drinking Water to to ensure the proper backflow prevention device(s) are
in place to protect the water supply of contamination. Our first step
in implementing the Cross Connection Control Program is to survey our
customers. Your cooperation is needed in order to reduce the chance of
contaminating our water system. You are asked to complete and return the
survey form within 30 days.
