About Us
Backflow Preventions Services, LLC (BPS) was formed in 2003 and specializes in the cross connection control and backflow prevention industry. The company was initially formed to focus on the testing of backflow preventers - mechanical devices installed on the customer side of water meters. The company then expanded to offer a four-hour continuing education class to sewer and water system operators. Shortly thereafter, we realized the need of assisting clients with the development, implementation, and management of Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Programs. As a result, the company expanded to include this additional service. In November, 2008, the Louisiana State Plumbing Board approved a 40 hour course of instruction offered by BPS whereby individuals may become certified to test backflow preventers. In November, 2009, BPS received a 3-year approval to offer continuing education to those plumbers in the State of Louisiana holding a Water Supply Protection Specialist (WSPS) endorsement.
Our mission is simple - educate the consumer and client of the dangers of cross connections and the means and methods used to protect their potable water supply.
