SUMMARY:Cross Connection Control
DESCRIPTION:Description\nCross connections in public water systems can cause adverse health effects to consumers if a control program is not in place. High-risk businesses such as car washes\, hospitals\, manufacturing facilities\, funeral parlors\, and veterinarian clinics may pose hazards to a water system if they do have adequate backflow prevention. \nThis course will discuss the process of identifying high-risk hazards and choosing the appropriate backflow prevention device based on the level of risk. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)
