Cross Connection Control Resources

As part of the Agreement in Principle (September 2008), the Total Coliform Rule Distribution System Advisory Committee recommended that: “EPA and primacy agencies reference and compile existing requirements, guidance, and other information on cross connection control practices from EPA, states, AWWA and other relevant parties with the aim of having a single, complete resource library available to the public.”
