domain: Water utility cross-connection control program · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Obtain the current AWWA M14 edition (the 5th edition added a dedicated cross-connection survey chapter and expanded test-procedure appendix)
Use M14's hazard classification framework to categorize customer premises by degree of hazard
Draft survey frequency and inspection procedures based on M14's recommended practices
Align device-type requirements (containment vs. isolation) to M14 guidance for each hazard class
Incorporate M14's expanded assembly test-procedure appendix into internal tester training materials
Known gotchas
M14 is a recommended practice, not an enforceable code — actual enforceable requirements come from state drinking water regulations and local ordinance, which may diverge from M14
Editions matter: pre-5th-edition versions lack the dedicated survey chapter and the updated test-procedure appendix
M14's survey-frequency recommendations are not binding minimums; state primacy agencies can mandate stricter intervals than M14 suggests
