## Summer Surge

## Preparing Your Cross-Connection Control Program for Peak Seasonal Risk

 

 

On-Demand Webinar Recorded on June 30, 2026

Summer brings increased demands on public water systems—and increased cross-connection risks. Irrigation, construction projects, temporary water connections, outdoor events, and seasonal staffing challenges can all create conditions that elevate the potential for backflow and contamination.

Join HydroCorp for a practical one-hour webinar on preparing your cross-connection control program for peak summer demand. Drawing on guidance and best practices from the AWWA M14 Cross-Connection Control Manual, we'll discuss common seasonal risk scenarios, operational challenges, and practical strategies to improve preparedness without adding unnecessary complexity.

Whether your program is well established or still developing, you'll leave with actionable ideas to reduce risk and strengthen seasonal readiness.

You’ll review:

- Common summer backflow risk scenarios
- Seasonal impacts on program operations
- Steps to improve preparedness and response
- Considerations for irrigation, construction, and temporary connections
- Improving visibility into high-risk connections and activities
