INQUIRING MINDS

In order to protect and ensure a safe water supply to consumers throughout the State, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) created a state regulation for public health. Section 18 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act requires municipalities to maintain an active Water Cross Connection Control Program, which ensures residents and commercial facilities that possess backflow prevention devices are inspected and tested, and the verification of inspection must be submitted to the Village or Orland Park at the time of installation and at least annually thereafter to ensure continued proper operation. The Village uses Backflow Solutions Incorporated (BSI) to manage the Cross Connection Control Program by overseeing and ensuring the inspections are completed. Please call BSI at (888) 966 6050 if you have questions.
