Backflow Prevention

To become an approved tester for the City of Concord's Backflow Program, you must attend a training class with the City's Backflow Department.  These classes are offered the last Wednesday of every month (unless a holiday conflicts) at 9am, at the Brown Operations Center.  PLEASE REGISTER HERE.  Please bring a copy of your Backflow Certification and Test Kit Calibration to this class.

Each backflow prevention assembly that is required must function properly at time of installment. Each customer will be required to test, maintain, and repair each assembly required which is a part of the customer's private water system. A certified backflow prevention technician may only conduct such test. Testing shall be done immediately following installation of any backflow prevention assembly and on an annual or semiannual basis depending the degree of hazard.  We will not accept backflow test reports by fax, mail, or hand delivered copies after this date.
