Current Areas Being Inspected For Cross Connection Control Compliance

The Water Department continues to do Cross Connection Inspections.  The areas that we are focusing on at this time are:

  • Completing the Jackson Creek Subdivision. We have only a couple of homes that we have not had access to.
  • Completing the Green Acres Subdivision. We have just over 10 homes to gain access to for inspection.
  • Completing the Pines Subdivision. We have over 30 homes in that subdivision left to do.
  • Continuing our last area for this year with the areas between S. Lincoln St, E. Geneva, Harmony, and Centralia.

The inspection takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.  If you are in any of these areas and have not complied with the inspection access request, please call our office immediately at 262-723-3138 to schedule your appointment as soon as possible.   We thank you in advance for your cooperation in ensuring safe drinking water for your family and the community. 

Cross Connection inspections are required by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for all commercial and residential properties.  The purpose of a cross connection inspection per Chapter 15.07 of the Plumbing Code “…is to protect the public water system from contaminants due to backflow of contaminants through the water service connection and to comply with the State mandate for maintenance…”  Again, the DNR is requiring all cross connection inspections to be completed because of the importance to protect the public water system.  Failure to comply with the City and the DNR mandated program may cause a disconnection of water service until the inspection is completed.
