Cross Connection Control Courses
The Cross Connection Devices: Inspection, Maintenance and Testing course is sponsored by the Virginia Section American Water Works Association, the Advanced Water and Wastewater Operators Short School, the Town of Leesburg Water Supply Division, the Washington County Service Authority, and the Office of Drinking Water, Virginia Department of Health. It is a two-day course offered five times a year at two locations in the Commonwealth of Virginia: Leesburg and Abingdon.
The two-day training course is offered in support of the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Virginia Waterworks Regulations. It is designed to prepare participants to test, inspect, and provide in-line maintenance of reduced pressure zone and other backflow prevention devices. Training includes both classroom and hands-on work with actual devices. Many local jurisdictions in Virginia accept the people certified by this course as authorized backflow device workers. Participants leave the workshop well prepared with a comprehensive course manual, sample cross-connection control programs and ordinances, an A.S.S.E. field testing guide, and the U.S.C. Manual of Cross Connection Control.
The one-day recertification course is offered two times a year (Spring) at the Abingdon location only. It is designed to update individuals previously certified whose certification has expired. Manuals are not reissued with the recertification course.
