These "cross connections" may be permanent or temporary and could cause the delivery of an unusable product, cause illness, or even death.Ĭross Connection also can occur when a line break causes water to back siphoned out of the building because of the lower water pressure at the point of breakage or leak.In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to protect the public health by regulating the nation’s public water supply. This can happen when the water supply main, pipe, or service line is connected to equipment containing a substance not fit for drinking.
