After being asked to develop a presentation concerning cross connection contol programs for The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County, we discovered a need for municipal water purveyors to fully understand the concept of cross connection control. The course we developed contains three specific areas; a history of potable water and cross connections, identification and remediation of cross connections and potable water and how to develop, implement and enforce a quality comprehesive cross connection control program.
