Purpose
The CSI ensures that your private plumbing system has no unprotected cross-connections — points where potable (drinking) water could come into contact with potential contaminants from non-potable sources. This protects the public water supply from backflow contamination.
When a CSI is Required (in most Central Texas water systems)
All new construction (before permanent water service is approved)
Substantial plumbing modifications or remodels
Any time the water provider suspects a potential hazard
Change of ownership or occupancy in some jurisdictions
What’s Included in My CSI Service
Thorough on-site inspection of all water lines, fixtures, and connections from the meter to the building interior and exterior
Identification of any actual or potential cross-connections
Check for improper or illegal connections (including lead piping or solder)
Verification of air gaps and other protective measures
Digital photos and detailed documentation
Completion and submission of the official TCEQ Customer Service Inspection Certificate (Form 20699)
Clear, easy-to-understand report with any recommended corrections
pricing only lists labor cost per assembly
material pricing may vary
