Arizona Tribune - HydroCorp Supports California Public Water Systems Under New Cross-Connection Control Regulations

TROY, MICHIGAN / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2025 / HydroCorp, the trusted leader in water safety and compliance for public water systems, hospitals, and industrial facilities, is providing support for California water systems to ensure compliance with the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) that took effect in July 2024.

The CCCPH expands on the requirements of Title 17 and includes provisions requiring hazard assessments of all water service connections and the implementation of a cross-connection control plan for all California public water systems. Plans must be submitted to the California State Water Resource Control Board by July 1, 2025. Additionally, the CCCPH will introduce a stricter backflow prevention assembly tester certification process over the next several years.

"HydroCorp's experts understand the requirements of the California Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook and know how to enable our customers to meet them ahead of the upcoming deadline with tailored, comprehensive programs and services."

HydroCorp's presence in California and partnership with public water systems across the state help to protect drinking water through effective implementation of comprehensive cross-connection control programs, including:

• Developing a compliant cross-connection control plan in partnership with all key stakeholders

• Drafting updated ordinance language to ensure enforceability

• Facilitating on-site or customized cross-connection hazard assessments based on need

• Managing backflow preventer test tracking and verifying tester certifications

• Managing water customer postal notifications and toll-free customer support
