The M611 - Management: Supplier has Permitted a Cross Connection. (T2): Supplier has permitted a cross connection and did not control the cross connection within the 120-day deadline or within a timeline specified in an alternative schedule. This is a backflow prevention and cross-connection control (BPCCC) treatment violation of Regulation 11, Section 11.39(6)(a)(ii). In accordance with Regulation 11, Section 11.39(3)(d)(ii and iv), suppliers must ensure that no backflow prevention assembly or method is utilized for more than two consecutive calendar years without being tested or inspected, service being suspended to the customer, or the cross connection being removed.
