Cross Connection/Backflow Prevention Oregon Administrative Rules
The permanent Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 333 Division 61, including recent changes adopted January 31, 2006, are now available for download on the link above. This Cross Connection Program version includes excerpts of other existing cross connection-related rules.
These recently revised rules reflect changes to Oregon Revised Statutes from the 2005 Legislative session that include; new and revised definitions, a fee assessed to Community Public Water Suppliers to provide funding for the Cross Connection Program based on the number of service connections, clarifying additions to the installation and operation standards, rules for certain plumbers that test backflow assemblies that are not required to obtain certification from the Department and they shall satisfactorily complete Department-approved training according to rules adopted by the Director of Consumer and Business Services.
Oregon Revised Statutes amended during the 2005 Legislative session require similar changes to the Oregon Administrative Rules and are accomplished by a rules revision process. This process includes notification to known interested parties and publication in various sources, summaries of the changes, draft changes of the rules, an open public comment period, a public hearing, and a Hearings Officer report prior to submission to the Secretary of State for permanent adoption of the revised rules. For more information about the House Bills that passed in the 2005 Legislative session, click here.
