SWBNO’s Backflow Prevention Program?keeps New Orleans’ drinking water clean and safe through customer collaboration and offers local job opportunities. The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) is offering educational opportunities for the plumbing community in New Orleans. These classes can help plumbers expand their business into backflow prevention. SWBNO is working with the Louisiana Department of Health to enforce backflow prevention efforts for commercial and residential users. Our customers will need certified backflow testers and assembly repairers to ensure their compliance – and New Orleans needs more testers. We encourage plumbers to take this opportunity to increase their business or even start their own by getting a backflow tester certification. To support that, SWBNO is hosting a backflow tester certification course and a recertification class. Learn more about the business opportunities here: https://lnkd.in/eKG45fMi Customers can learn how to help prevent backflow when doing everyday tasks around their yard and homes: https://lnkd.in/eA6F6NMi
