Programs: Cross-Connection Control
Locating Potential Hazards
We identify all possible threats to our drinking water that may be detrimental to the health of the public. These include anything from car washes, industrial companies, businesses, and even residential properties. Once these hazards have been identified we require the installation of a back flow device.
Testing Back Flow Devices
Once a back flow device has been installed state code requires that it be tested no later than 10 days after installation and be tested annually there after by a state certified back flow assembly tester. Luckily we have a state certified tester on staff. Our back flow tester has his own gauges specifically designed to test each kind of back flow assembly. Our back flow tester is able to identify any issue with your back flow assembly in order to make sure your property is in compliance with state code.
Repairing Back Flow Devices
If you have had your back flow assembly tested and find that you have an issue with it operating correctly, our back flow technician can trouble shoot and identify the problem for you. If our technician determines that your assembly has failed, you as the owner will be required to have it repaired by a certified technician. Winterizing is also the responsibility of the owner of the assembly, but our back flow technician would be happy to show you how you can do that.
