Backflow Device Testers and Certifications

The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District’s Backflow Prevention Program, in conjunction with State Drinking Water Regulations and the CDPHE, require that all technicians have one of the following certifications to test backflow devices: ASSE, ABPA, ABC or a current Colorado Certified Cross-Connection Control Technician certificate.

The 2007 Certified Testers List is provided as a resource to assist the District’s water service customers in finding a contractor to complete testing and installations of backflow prevention devices, as needed. The District makes no representation regarding the abilities, performance, or quality of these resources, nor does the District assume or accept any responsibilities for the actions of Testers or Testers/Installers named on the list.

We recommend that customers exercise judgment when contracting with any testers/installers, and to call several different testers for pricing and availability before setting an appointment for testing. Testing of devices usually vary from $50 to $150.

The following tester’s credentials have been verified for accuracy and integrity, therefore these are the only testers that can be contracted by our customers at this time.

The complete 2007 Certified Tester's List is available now.
