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.
