The Arizona Chapter of the American Backflow Prevention Association (AZABPA) is an organization whose members have a common interest in protecting drinking water from contamination through cross-connections. AZABPA is an organization dedicated to education and technical assistance. Through its network of regions and chapters, local needs and interests are supported with the resources of the national organization. AZABPA is committed to advancing all aspects of backflow prevention for the continued protection of all water users.

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in cross-connection control and maintaining water quality standards. AZABPA is for the professional who seeks continuing knowledge and up-to-date information in this constantly changing field. The AZABPA is composed of experts in cross-connection control and those just entering this dynamic field. All levels of professionals can belong to and benefit from the AZABPA: From legislators who write the laws, to the federal, state and local authorities who enforce the laws; from educators who provide training, to the plumbing and water works personnel who carry this training into the field; from engineers and architects who design the systems, to the manufacturers who produce the equipment used in the systems.
