Preventing cross connections between a potable water distribution system and water of unknown quality within a consumer's premises is a key element of a water supplier's responsibilities to protect the public health. The recognized need for cross connection control in preventing disease outbreaks even predates the disinfection of water supplies which began shortly after the turn of the century. In spite of this knowledge, many water suppliers have yet to implement a program of "cross connection control by containment" as required by the New York State Sanitary Code. The New York State Department of Health has recently been involved in several issues related to cross connection control that have generated considerable controversy and objections from affected users. This paper will outline several of these issues, cite some common objections to the program, discuss a case study regarding containment at hospitals and offer conclusions based on these experiences from a regulatory agency perspective.
