Cost of Water Leaks  Ever wonder how much water could leak through a certain size hole. Or do you think that there is no way a leak could have let that much water through. This document shows how much water can leak through various size holes.

Cross-Connection Control Your water can become contaminated if connections to your plumbing system are not properly protected! The purpose of the local Cross-Connection Control Program, as required by State Plumbing Code and Regulations, is to ensure that everyone in the community has safe, clean drinking water.  To avoid contamination, backflow preventers are required by state plumbing codes wherever there is an actual or potential hazard of a cross-connection.  The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources requires all public water suppliers to maintain an on-going Cross-Connection Control Program involving public education, on site inspections, and possible corrective actions by building owners if required.
