Why Surveying of Residential Properties Should be Done
Your water grid is constantly evolving and changing based on many factors such as city growth, community development and changing of water usage at different properties. As your water grid evolves cross connections that did not exist before are created.
Using CCRA's Survey Technology surveying water customers no longer requires large amounts of staff and money. CCRA's custom survey program is able to survey as few water customers or any many water customers as wanted.
What Does CCRA's Survey Technology Provide?
-
100% error free results
-
Computer algorithm analyzes survey results and assigns risk to completed surveys
-
Sorts surveys completed based on risk
-
Sorts properties that contain a cross connection and are out of compliance for follow up and corrective action
-
Zero human interaction until follow-up
How Does a Water Customer Complete Their Survey?
-
Water customer searches for their address
-
Water customer enters their water account number to verify their account
-
They complete the one at a time questions some with pictures to help them understand what is exactly being asked
-
Once they answer all of the questions they select submit, system then analyzes survey results and assigns a risk factor
How Complex and Successful is the Survey?
-
7-12 questions based on what is located at the property
-
Under 5 mins for survey completion
-
Survey is implemented and completed in over 10,000 water connections per year
A study completed by the University of Southern California Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research found that 9.6% of homes had a health hazard cross connection. What does this mean? It means that 1 in 10 homes have a cross connection that can threaten the water system. But our survey program has averaged closer to 30% of properties surveyed that had some type of cross connection that can threaten the water system.
Missing backflow prevention devices, missing vacuum breakers or devices not being tested.
Of the surveys completed, our program finds 30% of properties have some sort of back-flow anomaly risk as stated above.
Averaging 2% of valves located that have either not been tested or are missing from the device list.
