The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that:
The Auburn Water District has an active program to identify and prevent cross connections between drinking water and non-drinking water sources throughout its distribution system.

Plumbing cross-connections, which are defined as actual or potential connections between a potable and non-potable water supply, constitute a serious public health hazard. There are numerous, well-documented cases where cross connections have been responsible for contamination of drinking water, and have resulted in the spread of disease. The problem is a dynamic one, because piping systems are continually being installed, altered or extended.
