The City of Kearney Utilities Department, Water Operations Division, announces that it will begin sending out Cross Connection Surveys to residential homes and businesses in Kearney starting March 1, 2023.
Cross Connection Surveys are required by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), Public Water Supply Program for each end user of City of Kearney water. The purpose of the survey is to determine if any potential cross connections exist in plumbing systems connected to the City. Cross connections are plumbing arrangements that provide a means whereby impure water, gas or liquid may gain entrance to the domestic water system, thus contaminating the public water supply
The City of Kearney must conduct a survey of all residences and commercial sites connected to City water every five (5) years. The whole City of Kearney will be surveyed this year. If you do not receive a cross connection survey, but have a concern about a possible cross connection do not hesitate to contact Mike Sawin, Water Quality/Utility Coordinator at (308) 233-3258 or msawin@kearneygov.org.
