Training and Registration
The ERTC since its original designation has continually attempted to make those working in potable water protection aware of the constant changes that occur throughout this profession.
Current IEPA Cross-Connection Control Device Inspector certification requires a four-day training course that addresses IEPA and IDPH rules and regulations, hands-on practice testing of different backflow devices, and proper maintenance and repair. Tests to be learned include back pressure testing of double-check valves at 2 psi, and the new technique of testing each check in Direction of Flow at 1 psid, which does not call for the application of pressure to the backside of the check valve. This new test only requires measuring the difference in pressure from the front of the check valve to the back of the check valve. The removal of pressure from the backside of the check valve allows for a more accurate test. It has been documented that by applying more pressure to the backside of a check valve even broken springs can be missed. It is our job is to find the leaks if they exist not hide them. With the availability of using calibrated pressure differential gages and digital gages to allow for more accurate field testing, the next step is training our plumbers and water operators in order to help in the protection process for our potable water supply.
In the past decade, Illinois’ water treatment plants have come under an increased amount of scrutiny. Millions of dollars will be spent on technical equipment and manpower to ensure the safety of our water sources. The Cross-Connection Control Device Inspector can play a vital role in helping to monitor our distribution systems which are also vulnerable to possible outside contamination
