Current through June, 2024
(a) To protect the public water systems from
				the possibility of contamination or pollution by isolating within its
				customers' internal distribution system(s) or its customers' private water
				system(s) such contaminants or pollutants which could backflow or backsiphon
				into the public water systems.
(b)
				To promote the elimination or control of existing cross-connections, actual or
				potential, between its customers' in-plant potable water system(s) and
				non-potable water systems, plumbing fixtures and industrial piping
				systems.
(c) To provide for the
				maintenance of a continuing program of cross-connection control which will
				systematically and effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of all
				potable water systems.

				  discontinue service to the premise by providing for a physical break in the
				  service line until the customer has corrected the
				  condition(s).
