## **Cross Connections and Backflow Prevention - Cross Connection Bylaw**
**What is a Cross Connection?** A cross connection is any actual or potential connection between the public water supply and any pipe, vessel, tank, plumbing fixture, equipment, or device connected to a non-potable system.
Preventing potentially hazardous backflow requires removal of all existing cross connections in your home, yard, business, and industry. If eliminating a cross connection is not possible, protect it by installing an approved backflow prevention device selected and installed to the relevant industry codes and standards. Please consult our Cross Connection Control Bylaw and Cross Connection Control Plan below for further details.
