Cross Connection Control
and Backflow Prevention Program Development & Enforcement (1 day)
This course explains the basic enforcement of a backflow prevention program
and the do’s and don’ts. We begin with establishing backflow prevention program
interactions between enforcement agencies and how to initiate program
development. Discussed are implementation procedures and enforcement
necessities. Fred Baird, course instructor, has years of practical experience
enforcing a backflow prevention program and passes on information that is not
available in any manual. A general round table discussion is held at the end of
the day. Note: TCEQ Approved Course - 8 hrs. Training Credit Water - Wastewater
The course benefits water purveyor and plumbing inspection department personnel charged with implementing a Backflow Prevention Program. Introduction to Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention or a 40 hr. tester course is a minimum prerequisite to this course.
Cross Connection Control and
Backflow Prevention Program Software Demonstrations – (1 day)
This session will have backflow
prevention software manufacturers and distributors demonstrate how their
software performs and the benefits to enforcement and backflow prevention
assembly testers. Software needs vary considerably and are dependant upon the
task being performed and the scope of the project. Details are discussed on
what software is best suited for your particular application and how the
software can interact between enforcement and testers.
The session is for those associated with enforcement of backflow prevention programs, backflow preventer testing companies, and private facilities having backflow prevention assemblies on site and maintaining their own records.
