Protecting Bakersfield's Water: Why You Need an Accurate Backflow Cross-Connection Survey

In Bakersfield and throughout Kern County, safeguarding our drinking water is a top priority. For businesses, property managers, and facility owners, compliance isn't just a requirement—it's a commitment to public health. That's where Accurate Backflow Testing comes in. We specialize in comprehensive cross-connection control surveys to ensure your water system is safe, compliant, and hazard-free. What is a Cross-Connection Control Survey and Why is it Essential in Kern County? A cross-connection control survey is a critical, systematic inspection of your plumbing system to identify any potential connections between the potable (drinkable) water supply and a non-potable source (e.g., wastewater, chemicals, or irrigation water). In areas like Bakersfield, where water usage can be diverse—from industrial facilities to extensive agricultural and residential irrigation—the risk of backflow is a constant concern. Here’s why a professional survey from Accurate Backflow Testing is crucial for your Kern County property: Preventing Water Contamination: The primary goal of a survey is to prevent hazardous substances from being siphoned or forced back into the clean water supply. Contaminated water poses a severe risk of illness to your customers, employees, and the wider community. Ensuring Regulatory Compliance in Bakersfield: Local water purveyors and the health department have strict mandates for cross-connection control. Our surveys help you meet these regulations, providing the necessary documentation to avoid fines and system shutdowns. Identifying Hidden Hazards: Many cross-connections are subtle and not obvious to the untrained eye. Our certified specialists are experts at finding potential sources of backflow, such as submerged hoses, improper piping, or inadequately protected auxiliary water systems.

Hazard Assessment: We classify each identified cross-connection based on the degree of hazard (e.g., low, moderate, or severe) it poses to the public water system. Recommendations for Backflow Prevention: We provide clear, practical recommendations for the installation or upgrade of appropriate backflow prevention devices (like RPZ assemblies or Double Check Valve Assemblies) to mitigate any risks. Official Documentation: You receive a detailed report outlining our findings, the required corrective actions, and proof that you are actively managing your cross-connection control program as required by Kern County authorities.
