Cross Connection Control Program

We administer a Cross Connection Program to help commercial businesses and multi-residential property owners. The program:

• Maintains a database of facilities, building owners and backflow prevention assemblies installed within the building along with a test history of each of those assemblies and notes from inspections.
• Maintains a database of certified testers and installers of backflow prevention assemblies.
• Ensures that equipment used by all certified installers and testers are calibrated annually.
• Conducts cross connection inspections of new and existing buildings within the City of Edmonton.
• Notifies our customers of past-due annual testing requirements.

Testing requirements

Backflow preventers shall be tested:

• Upon installation
• When cleaned, repaired or overhauled
• When relocated
• Annually
• As required by the regulatory authority

Test reports must be submitted to the Cross Connection Control office within 30 days of the test.
