A cross-connection is any actual or potential link between the public water supply and a source of contamination. One of the most common examples? A simple garden hose often used with chemicals, fertilizers, or other potentially harmful substances.
Other cross-connections can include:
- Boilers
- Pressure washers
- Toilets
- Pools
- Lawn irrigation systems
To keep our water safe, Wisconsin Administrative Code (NR 810.15) requires all municipal water systems to maintain a Cross-Connection Control Program to eliminate risks and prevent contamination.
Our Village partners with HydroCorp to manage this program and ensure our water system remains clean, safe, and reliable for everyone.
Learn more by reviewing the Cross-Connection Control Program information on the Village website or visiting HydroCorp’s website.
