Impacts of Cross-Connections in North American Water Supplies

Abstract

Documents the occurrence of cross-connections in utility distribution and premise piping systems, and estimates the extent to which they are abated. Assesses both active abatement programs on premises and containment-only programs. Also identifies key criteria to assist with the successful implementation of an effective assessment program and to address consumer complaints. Published in 2003.
