Coming Down the Pipe: Reg. 11 Backflow Guidance Updates


Please see updates on the division’s webpage

In early 2021, we ran a stakeholder process to update policies both for backflow prevention and cross connection control as well as storage tank regulations. After those updated policies were published, we began an effort over the summer to update guidance materials for both rules. We prioritized the backflow prevention and cross connection control guidance materials because more systems are struggling with them.
  • In early October, we published the first in the series of several guidance documents for stakeholder review and comment - the backflow prevention and cross connection control annual reporting template for community water systems - available on the webpage. 

  • The stakeholder community has valuable insight and we would like to receive stakeholder feedback about the template. Please navigate to the page above and review the annual report template. The deadline to provide feedback to the division is November 20.
