DSRSD REQUIREMENT REGARDING BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE TESTING   In order for a tester to be added to, and remain on, our Certified Tester list, the following is required:   A copy of the AWWA certificate as well as the wallet card which shows the expiration date and certificate number must be provided. When a certificate is renewed we must receive a copy of the current card and new expiration date, for the tester to remain on the list.     You will not be reminded to send us this information. The list is produced monthly and should your licenses not be current, you will automatically be removed from the list.     Dublin San Ramon Services District Specifications require, in almost all cases, that only Reduced Pressure Principle Devices (RP) be installed. This means that if a current DC can be repaired, you may do so. If, however, it needs to be replaced for any reason whatsoever, an RP must be installed. Variance on this matter is made on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by the Cross Connection Control Specialist. All devices to be replaced must first be inspected by DSRSD in a field meet. Please make an appointment with: Jeff Hayes (925) 875-2259 or Bud Mahler (925) 875-2257. All devices installed in new services (with the exception of fire lines) must be reduced pressure principle devices and on the District's current approved list.     California State Law requires a device to be tested any time it is repaired or replaced. If a device requires servicing outside of a 30-day period prior to the scheduled annual test date, it will still be required to be tested again on its scheduled annual test date.     If, for any reason, a tester requires a curbstop to be turned on or off, the DSRSD Water Department must be contacted. Testers are not to operate curbstops. This is for your own protection. Many testers have taken this action upon themselves and broken the curbstop. In such a case, the tester is liable for any and all damages.     The notice for testing is sent to the customers on their annual date. They then contact a tester and forward the paperwork and/or device information to him/her. The information on the device/s will be contained in the paperwork forwarded to the customer. The accuracy of our records depends upon you and the information you forward to us. If a device is changed out, please make note of new serial numbers, etc.     Once you have received the paperwork from a customer, please contact our office so that we know the device is being handled and by whom. If the device fails, it is the responsibility of the customer to make arrangements with you to have it repaired or replaced. DO NOT FORWARD FAILED TEST REPORTS TO OUR OFFICE. Once a passed test result is obtained and the paperwork is completed, please forward an original signature copy to the District. Results must be reported on either our form or a form which provides for all required information. For your convenience, blank forms are available at our District Office at 7051 Dublin Blvd. in Dublin.     Extensions are given to testers in cases where the device needs to be repaired or replaced and parts are on order. Other exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Jeff Hayes (925) 875-2259 or Bud Mahler (925) 875-2257 to receive the extension if necessary.       We appreciate your cooperation in compliance with the above requests. Please keep in mind that we offer a list of certified testers to our customers to assure them a selection of competent testers. If we become aware of problems with a tester complying with any of the above, failure to test a device according to standard testing procedures, or falsifying test reports, it will be considered grounds for automatic removal from our list in the better interest of our customers and distribution system.       I, the undersigned, have read and acknowledged these requirements.       Signature______________________________Date________________       For (Company Name)________________________________________       DSRSD APPROVED BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE TESTER LIST   The following companies or individuals have been approved by the District to do backflow prevention device testing and repair.
