Backflow Prevention & Cross Connection Control Refresher (#2025-05)


This class will explain what a cross connection is and what effect 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. Will will discuss how hydraulics affect your water and wastewater system and how a better understanding of hydraulics and cross-connection control allows you to develop and implement a protective cross-connection control program for your system. New test procedures for each type of backflow prevention device and MassDEP regulations will also be discussed.

The class will be held in person. To allow for adequate training time for each participant, we will be watching registrations closely and, if necessary, begin a wait list. Registrations are on a first-come, first-served basis.
