一个正在进行的程序，用于识别交叉连接，并要求安装适当的组件 正确安装、测试和维护对于满足大多数要求至关重要。然而，如果你的 管理机构没有要求，仍然存在保护水不受污染的问题 污染和污染以及潜在责任问题的供应商。饮用水是珍贵的， 必须通过分销系统从源头上保护的不可再生商品，以及 给消费者。实施和维护交叉连接控制程序看起来像是一个 艰巨的任务。在一个坚实的基础上建立一个程序使程序变得负担得起，易于管理。 而且是可以辩护的。 本文概述了成功项目的组成部分，包括:培训和认证；制定执行文件；公共教育；记录保存；检查/调查；装配安装、测试、维护和维修；以及持续的执法。

An ongoing program which identifies cross connections and requires the appropriate assembly to be properly installed, tested, and maintained is essential to fulfill most requirements. However, if your governing body does not have requirements, there is still the issue of protecting the water from contamination and pollution and the purveyor from potential liability issues. Drinking water is a precious, nonreplenishable commodity which must be protected from the source, through the distribution system, and to the consumer. Implementing and maintaining a cross connection control program can seem like an overwhelming task. Setting up a program on a strong foundation makes the program affordable, manageable and defendable. The components of a successful program are outlined in this paper and include: training and certification; develop an enforcement document; public education; record keeping; inspections/surveys; assembly installation, testing, maintenance & repair; and, ongoing enforcement.
