Cross Connection Control

This program is one important component of Oregon City Water Division's "Multiple Barrier Approach," used to prevent contamination of drinking water from source to tap.

Testers are required to provide a copy of each completed test report to the water user or premise owner and the water supplier (Oregon City Public Works) within 10 working days of the test. Testers can submit the city's copy to EcosConnect, the city's online portal for backflow test report submission. If the testing company does not have an EcosConnect account, they can email EcosConnect, or email city staff.
