The Hopkinton Water & Sewer Division has a State required, Cross Connection Control program in place. The purpose of this program is to ensure the health and safety of the public drinking water supply for all water users. An essential part of this program is the testing of all Double Check Valve Assembly and Reduced Pressure Zone backflow prevention devices. If you have one of these devices in your home or business, you will be contacted to set up an appointment.
The department has recently contracted these services to be performed by Waster Safety Services of Woburn, MA. They are a well established company that is used by numerous communities. All testers are in a WSS uniform and will be scheduling tests between the hours of 8AM to 4PM. Please be advised that these tests are mandated by the State to ensure public health. Failure to have our devices tested could result in water service termination. If you receive a notice, we ask you to please contact WSS direct to schedule your appointment. We appreciate your cooperation with this very important process and should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
