Cross Connection Inspection Devices Form
Oconto Falls Municipal Utilities has a comprehensive Cross Connection Control Program to protect the potable (drinking) water supply. A cross-connection is where the potable water piping may be arranged in a way that a non-potable source can contaminate the potable supply through back pressure or back-siphonage situation. An inspection is required to protect the integrity of the potable water supply.
In compliance with WI DNR 810.15 and SPS 382.41, your establishment is required to undergo a cross-connection inspection by a licensed plumber every two years. This inspection ensures water from your internal plumbing does not compromise treated drinking water in Oconto Falls Water Utility's distribution system. Oconto Falls Water Utility will not be performing these inspections for commercial customers after 2024 due to the demand for these biennial inspections.
On January 1, 2025, businesses officially become responsible for the hiring of a State of Wisconsin certified cross-connection assembly tester or a State of Wisconsin-licensed plumber of your choice to perform this inspection. Proof of inspection which includes all existing devices, assemblies and requirements within the facility must be submitted either in person, by email to brank@ofmu.org or by mail to Oconto Falls Municipal Utilities. The required forms are included or can be found on our website. The owner of the property is responsible for all associated costs and compliance with the City of Oconto Falls Municipal Code 455. In the future, these inspections will need to be completed once every two years in order to comply with WI DNR 810.15 and SPS 382.41.
