NEW: MISSING OR STOLEN BACKFLOW PREVENTION ASSEMBLIES: Backflow prevention assembly theft has become a significant problem in Southern California. Because of the importance of this issue, the ABPA SoCal Chapter has established a section on our web site devoted to publishing reports of missing/stolen backflow prevention assemblies. EPA Total Coliform Rule Regulation: On September 18, 2008, members of the Total Coliform Rule/Distribution System Advisory Committee (TCRDSAC) signed an Agreement in Principle (AIP) that recommends revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR), as well research and information collection needed to better understand potential public health impacts from conditions in the distribution system. The document can be found at the EPA web site.
