Canby Utility, your water supplier, is committed to providing all our water customers with safe drinking water. It is our responsibility for cross connection control that begins at the water supply source and ends at the point of delivery to the water user's premise, but we need your help to prevent contamination through back flow from the customer side to keep our water safe throughout the system. Residential customers who have potential cross connections are responsible for preventing contaminants from entering the public water system from their individual plumbing systems by installing and maintaining approved back flow prevention assemblies.
