What Really Happens During an Inspection?

A Customer Service Inspection is far more than a routine site visit. It is a technical deep dive designed to uncover the hidden risks that threaten your water quality.

As shown in our process, we identify the exact point where contaminants enter the system, separating safety from hazard.

Identify Hidden Risks: We find what the naked eye misses, from cross-connections to potential pollutants.

Mitigate Liabilities: Early detection prevents costly system failures and health hazards.

Verified Safety: We ensure your infrastructure operates within the highest regulatory standards.

Hardin & Associates Consulting brings clarity to your system’s health.

Don't guess when it comes to safety, get the facts. đź’§

Ensure your system is truly protected.

Cross-connection control programs don’t fail because people don’t care, they fail because they lack system, structure, and support.

For municipalities, protecting the drinking water supply goes far beyond having rules on paper.

It requires a program that functions consistently across teams and over time:

🔹 System – Organized processes for tracking devices, inspections, testing, and compliance.

Without a reliable system, even the best intentions fall apart.

🔹 Structure – Clear SOPs, defined roles, and accountability.

Everyone, from inspectors to customer service to management, needs to understand exactly what happens, when, and why.

🔹 Support – The tools, training, and interdepartmental coordination needed to keep everything aligned.

Cross-connection control doesn’t live in one department, it requires collaboration between utilities, billing, permitting, and enforcement.

When these elements are in place, programs become proactive, defensible, and scalable.

When they’re not, gaps form, and that’s where risk lives.

The question is: does your program have all three?

According to the USC Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research (FCCCHR), a cross-connection is any actual or potential physical connection between a potable water system and any source of non-potable water, fluid, or gas.

These connections can allow contaminants to enter the drinking water supply through backsiphonage or backpressure.

What often gets overlooked is how these risks evolve over time.

A facility may have been compliant at the time of construction, but changes happen.

New equipment gets installed, processes change, and connections are added without always considering cross-connection risks.

Something as simple as a new hose connection, chemical feed, or piece of equipment can introduce a new hazard.

That’s why periodic inspections are so important. They help identify risks that weren’t there during the initial inspection.

At a minimum, it is recommended that any change in occupancy or use should trigger a cross-connection review.

In Texas, this is typically done through a Customer Service Inspection (CSI) to ensure the system is still protected.

If it’s been a while since your last review, or if your facility has changed, reach out to us today for a complimentary review of your backflow and cross-connection control program.

Most systems think compliance issues come from missed inspections or a few broken processes, but that’s rarely the root cause.

More often, the real problems lie in incomplete documentation, outdated ordinances, or internal processes that don’t align with TCEQ requirements. These gaps can go unnoticed in day-to-day operations, yet they’re exactly what auditors uncover first.

That’s where HAC steps in.

We help utilities stay compliant by handling what falls behind:

Customer Service Inspections
Software (backflow, pretreatment, FOG, etc.)
TCEQ-compliant reporting
Program management & customer communication

Compliance isn’t just checking boxes. It’s making sure everything is working together the way it should.
