Walpole defines a cross connection as a link between drinking-water piping and a polluted source. Hoses, irrigation, boilers, treatment, and other equipment can create different backflow risks.
This decision starts with a safe observation, then separates the responsible contact from the written repair scope.
Restore normal use only after the remaining limit is fully understood.
Map every device connected to potable water, its use, elevation or pressure, installed protection, test tag, and changes since the last inspection.
Do not remove or bypass a protection device. Follow the town and plumbing inspector for required device type, testing, records, and correction.
Do not erase the clue or transfer risk to electricity, gas, wastewater, building material, or town equipment.
Name the protected connection, approved device or air gap, installer, permit, shutoff, test, certification, access, and maintenance schedule.
The town explains the garden-hose contamination pathway and recommends backflow prevention on hose connections.
