Backflow Incident Report Form #331-243 (188 KB Word) - Cross-Connection Control Program

Has your water system ever had a backflow incident? 

Backflow is when water flows in the opposite direction than intended.  Under backflow conditions, contaminants may enter the drinking water supply through unprotected cross-connections.  Sometimes the contaminant is confined to the customer's plumbing system.  Other times the contaminant may enter the distribution system. 

Washington State Drinking Water rules [WAC 246-290-490(8)] require water purveyors to document details of backflow incidents using the above form. 

To complete the backflow incident form, you can either:

  • Fill out the form on your computer in Word, and then print it for your signature (preferred method).
  • Print out the form and complete it manually.

Please send the signed, completed form to:
