Trained professionals inspect properties and plumbing systems to spot instances where safe and contaminated water could mix. The goal is to eliminate or mitigate these risks through measures like installing backflow prevention devices and ensuring proper plumbing practices, thus ensuring the safety and quality of the drinking water supply.
