How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Massachusetts ?

We hold an approval through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection - Drinking Water Program, Cross Connection Control Program (MassDEP-DWP-CCCP) which is the state agency that regulates the water purveyors and backflow testing. The MassDEP-DWP-CCCP certification guide is posted on their website, with more information on how to apply found online as well. You take the course and then fill out a form and pay a fee to the state.

The Massachusetts State License is generally acceptable as a reciprocation to most water purveyors that we have reached out to in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, possibly also Maine, but Connecticut does not accept any other state courses.

Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?

We have found the USC-10th Edition testing procedures to be the most efficient. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using these procedures:

Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - USC 2-Valve Procedures

Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - USC Procedures

Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - USC Procedures

Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - USC Procedures
