Launched in 1990, this program was developed to help utilities successfully implement and maintain an effective cross-connection control program. It is specifically designed for current and potential cross-connection control supervisors, coordinators, program managers, water department personnel, public works directors and utility directors. The program consists of three courses: Introduction to Backflow Prevention (or Backflow Prevention Tester Training and Certification), Survey and Inspection, and Ordinance and Organization. Upon successful completion of all three courses, participants are eligible for a Program Manager Certificate.

Introduction to Backflow Prevention
Introduction to Backflow Prevention provides the participant with a broad and basic understanding of various backflow devices. Time is spent discussing what is necessary for a functioning well maintained and managed backflow program. |
Cross-Connection Control: Survey and Inspection
This course is an integral part of a well-managed cross-connection program. Participants will tour two local facilities to learn how to identify appropriate methods to prevent backflows for isolation and containment, review new construction plans to eliminate cross-connections, and conduct a field survey demonstrating how to inspect for cross-connections. |
Cross-Connection Control: Ordinance and Organization
This course teaches the essentials of developing and managing an effective cross-connection control program. Topics include: legal authority, policies, budget preparation, record keeping, training and education, assembly standards and specification, the elements of a good ordinance, and liabilities and responsibilities. |
