Cross Connection Control

Protecting Your Drinking Water from Contamination

Cross connections are points in your plumbing system where contaminated water could potentially mix with clean, potable water. Without proper protection, these connections can create serious health risks. TNB provides certified cross connection control services to ensure your home or business meets safety standards and maintains a clean, safe water supply.

What Is a Cross Connection?

A cross connection occurs anywhere that drinking water comes into contact with non-potable water sources. These risks are more common than many homeowners realize.

Common cross connection risks include:

Irrigation systems
Hose bibs without backflow protection
Boilers and heating systems
Pools, hot tubs, and spas
Utility sinks
Fire suppression systems
Commercial equipment connections

Without proper controls, contaminants can flow backward into your drinking water during a pressure drop.
