Cross Connection Control Program

Cross-Connection Plumbing Survey

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requires that all water systems in the State of Illinois have an effective Cross-Connection Control Program to protect our customers and the integrity of our water system. Cross-connections (a physical connection between a possible source of contamination and the plumbing system) are a serious concern and can contaminate the water system through backflow or back-siphonage. IEPA regulations require customers of public water supplies regularly inspect (survey) their premise plumbing systems for potential cross-connections to ensure the water supply is properly protected against contamination. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that unprotected cross-connections are not created within their premise plumbing and that required backflow prevention assemblies for protected cross-connections are maintained in operable condition, tested/certified annually and test records filed with the water system. 

Please complete the survey form by December 31, 2024.

If you have questions about the Village’s Cross-Connection Control Program or this survey, please contact the Utilities Division of Public Works at (847) 540-1696.

Thank you for completing the survey and working together to protect our water supply.
