This class will explain what a cross-connection is and what effects back-siphonage and back pressure can have on your system. We will examine a cross-connection control program as a necessary tool for controlling the possibility of contamination by cross connections. How do hydraulics affect your water and wastewater system? By understanding hydraulics and cross connection control, you can develop and implement a cross-connection control program for your system. New test procedures for each type of backflow prevention device and MA DEP regulations will be discussed.
Class will be held In Person. To allow for adequate training time for each participant, we will be watching registrations closely and begin a Wait List, if needed. Registration is on a first come first served basis.
Please Note:
1. We are reserving 5 seats for people of small systems (<10,000 population served) and need a minimum of three small systems to register for class. Any remaining seats, of these 5, that are not filled, will be filled from the Wait List in the order in which they were received. Participants will be made known if they are on the Wait List, and if they are move to the active roster. Please don’t hesitate to contact Jason should you have any questions.
