Cross Connection Control Program
The Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency-Public Water
Systems Supervision Program (PWSSP) requires public water
systems to protect their water supplies from contamination by
implementing a cross-connection control program and to have
backflow assemblies be tested annually. The scope of a
comprehensive cross-connection control program must include
provisions for the protection of the drinking water supply through the
installation of appropriate backflow prevention assemblies at all water
user’s connections where a hazard or potential hazard to the water
supply is identified by the public water system.
The type of backflow protection required must be commensurate with
the degree of hazard that exists on the water user’s premises. Navajo
EPA regulations identify the minimum types of backflow protection
based on the identified hazard or potential hazard.
Only those persons that have met the requirements of the Navajo
Nation Environmental Protection Agency-PWSSP under the Navajo
Nation Primary Drinking Water Regulations §2003:
Require to be currently certified as a cross connection control
program specialist by the California-Nevada Section of the American
Water Works Association or an organization with equivalent
certification requirements acceptable to the Director, unless the
Director approves an alternative person based on its review of system
size, types of water users, treatment, distribution system, and any
previous hazard assessment.
Backflow Testers are required to register and submit application with
appropriate documents and fee payable to the Navajo Nation
Environmental Protection Agency-PWSSP. Upon approval by the
Director, a Backflow Tester Identification card will be issued. All
Registered Testers will be recognized as certified by an approved
cross connection program having met the requirements as
established to test within the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation.
