City of Saline recently issued the following announcement.
Beginning next week, the City of Saline will begin cross connection control inspecting to identify and eliminate any possible connections that could contaminate the public water system.
The City of Saline has implemented a program for its commercial and industrial customers for a number of years; however, in order to fully comply with this State mandate, we must now include residential customers as part of this program. The City of Saline has contracted with HydroCorp of Troy, MI to assist with facilitating this program.
The residential program consists of both inspections of the exterior of homes and periodic testing of backflow prevention assemblies, which are typically found on lawn irrigation systems. These devices are installed on plumbing systems to ensure contaminated water or other substances cannot be introduced to the home or the public water supply.
Contractors from HydroCorp will be inspecting potential cross connection violations outside the home. A contractor will be easily identifiable as from HydroCorp and will never request access to your home.
Please review the materials below and on our website to learn more about cross connection control and what you can do to avoid cross connections.
