Cross Connection Information
Wisconsin Administrative code, Chapter NR 810.15, requires every municipal water supplier to develop and implement a comprehensive cross connection control program for the elimination of all existing and potential cross connections as well as the prevention of future cross connections.
The Village of Iola delivers safe, high-quality drinking water every day. The Cross Connection Control Program (CCC) is designed to safeguard public health and continue to keep the water system free of contamination and pollutants. A record of the cross connection control program shall be kept current and available for annual review by the department.
*Public Education Program & DNR Cross Connection Control Options—We will inform our water customers with newsletters, brochures, press releases, and the use of web sites. Visit the following web site for more information and resources.
*Notices to Owners - Notify the building owner of a scheduled inspection date and any required corrective action.
*Cross Connection Survey—All residential, commercial, governmental, institutional, and industrial facilities plumbing systems which are connected to the public water supply will be inspected to determine if cross connections exist as required by the WI DNR Regulation NR810.15
*Installation of Protective Devices—Backflow prevention devices or assemblies will need to be installed at the owners expense where known unprotected cross connections exist as required by Dept. of Commerce Chapter Comm. 82.41.
*Annual testing— All testable assemblies shall be tested upon installation and at yearly intervals thereafter by a State of Wisconsin certified tester of the owner’s choice. Required testing devices come with certification tags showing when installed and last tested.
