We all understand the dangers and consequences that a backflow occurrence can create. The health risks to the citizens and the damages to the infrastructure of the city's piping system. It is of the utmost importance that any backflow device worker has the proper training and work ethic to ensure they are well qualified to be in such a position, as to test and maintain any backflow preventer. Providing a single source of vetting (DPOR), to qualify individuals in the practices of backflow testing and maintenance is in everyone's best interest, both the state's and its citizens'.
