Backflow Survey Oct2025.xlsx

This file is a domestic water backflow prevention device survey conducted at the Sheridan Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), documenting the inventory and testing status of backflow preventers across multiple buildings and rooms.

The survey identifies approximately 30+ backflow prevention devices distributed across buildings numbered 1 through 90, including specialized facilities such as water plants and mechanical rooms. The devices are predominantly Double Check and Reduced Pressure assembly types, manufactured by Watts, Wilkins, and Febco. Critical findings include multiple devices with unverified status due to access issues (rooms in buildings 7, 9, and 71), several devices lacking identification tags or dated tags (such as a 2003-dated tag in Building 7), and at least one device documented as having failed testing (Building 8, Room 008). Approximately 10-12 devices show "FALSE" values in the "Tested Tag Present" column or carry notes indicating testing could not be verified. The survey provides specific room locations, manufacturer models, and maintenance notes that will inform the scope of backflow preventer testing and repair services required under solicitation 36C25926Q0177 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19.
