The City of Coalinga currently has nearly one hundred twenty backflow devices currently in place and almost one hundred more are set to be installed. A cross-connection program would not exist if it were not for certified backflow testers.
Accepted Credentials
We accept both American Water Works Association (AWWA) or American Backflow Preventers Association (ABPA) credentials. These are generally one-week courses that fully prepare you to test backflow preventers.
