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.
