Pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, the DNR, under NR 810.15, requires every municipal water supplier to develop and implement a comprehensive cross-connection control program for the elimination of all existing cross-connections as well as the prevention of future cross-connections.

The Village of Pleasant Prairie Water Utility system delivers safe, high-quality drinking water every day.  The Village of Pleasant Prairie Water Utility’s Cross-Connection Control (CCC) program is designed to continue to safeguard public health and keep the water system safe from contaminants and pollutants.

The Village of Pleasant Prairie Water Utility has contracted with HydroCorp, Inc. of Troy, Michigan to manage our commercial program.  HydroCorp is an environmental services firm that specializes in backflow prevention and cross connection control.  They currently manage program services for over 400 municipalities and water utilities in ten states.

HydroCorp performs inspections of all commercial and industrial buildings connected to the water supply to detect actual and potential cross connections and make recommendations for the installation of backflow prevention devices or assemblies where necessary. This will help ensure that contaminated or polluted water cannot backflow into clean drinking water.

These inspections happen on varying frequencies based on the hazard level of the facility.
