The purpose of Hillsborough County’s Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program is to protect the health of everyone who drinks our water.
Hillsborough County’s Water Resource Division is committed to providing a reliable supply of safe drinking water. The water which is distributed from our treatment plants meets or is better than all state and federal standards. However, without proper backflow prevention and cross-connection control, consumers can accidentally introduce dangerous contaminants into the public drinking water supply.
Federal and state regulations require public potable water supplies to adopt rules to prevent contamination in their water systems. To comply with these requirements, Hillsborough County has adopted an ordinance regulating and enforcing backflow prevention, cross-connection control, device registration and annual testing.
