CCCP Readiness Assessment

Answer ten yes or no questions and grade your cross-connection control program.

  • Free
  • 10 questions
  • Answer on screen
Question 1 of 10: Do you have a complete Cross-Connection Control Plan (CCCP) built to the California CCCPH?
Question 2 of 10: Has your plan been submitted to your DDW District Office or LPA, and approved?
Question 3 of 10: Has your system adopted legal authority (an ordinance, rules, or resolution) to enforce the program?
Question 4 of 10: Is your backflow prevention assembly survey and inventory complete and current?
Question 5 of 10: Have hazard assessments been completed for your service connections?
Question 6 of 10: Is annual backflow assembly field testing, including air-gap inspections, running on schedule?
Question 7 of 10: Are your testers' and specialists' certifications current?
Question 8 of 10: Do you have documented procedures for backflow incident response and notification?
Question 9 of 10: Is a program coordinator or specialist assigned to run the program day to day?
Question 10 of 10: Are program records (tests, surveys, assessments, submittals) kept in an organized records system?

"Not sure" counts as a gap: if it is not documented, it is not defensible yet.

Questions follow the official cross-connection control program elements. A self-check, not a regulatory review.
