WATER
Cross-Connection Control
Program
| The Seminole
County Environmental Services Cross-Connection
Control (CCC) Program was established
to safeguard the County's potable
(drinking) water system from contaminants
and other hazards that may enter through
cross connections. Regulatory authority
for the CCC program is established by
laws promulgated to safeguard the County's
potable water system. |

Two

Ordinances were passed
by the Board
of County Commissioners in 1992 and again
in 1999 to provide legal authority to accomplish
this goal. Subsequent amendments were executed in 2006 and 2007. The Seminole County CCC
Program was formally approved by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
on January 26, 2000.
The County as a water supplier
is responsible for safe drinking water up
to and including the water meter. Backflow
Prevention Assemblies (BFPA) are required
on all service connections downstream (on
the customer's side) of the water meter and
are required to be tested annually.

the CCC Program, please call John Cassaro
