The Village is required to provide public education information annually to users of our water supply system. An important piece of that education is cross connections.
A cross connection is any connection between a possible non-drinking water source and your water line, which ultimately leads to the Village water system. An example would be: A hose attached to a faucet that has no back-siphon prevention device installed, and the hose is in a bucket of water, a sink, a bathtub full of water or a watering tank. In these cases if there would be a sudden drop in water pressure it could cause the water from the bucket, sink, bathtub or tank to be backsiphoned into the water line causing a contamination. This is why it is necessary that outside faucets must have a backflow preventer, commonly known as a hose bibb, installed. These can be purchased very reasonably at hardware stores. The backflow preventer does just that – prevents the water from flowing back from the bucket, sink, etc. into your water line and ultimately the Village’s water main.
If you have any questions please contact Dallas Thomas at 308-935-1400 or call the Village Office at 935-1467.
