To learn more about these proactive, additional services, keep reading! 

Failed or Final Notice 

One of BSI’s most helpful additional services is the notices we send out to increase compliance. When you are a BSI Online tracking customer, we can automate a Failed or additional Final notice for your program through the BSI system. These are additional automated notices, in addition to the (2) we automatically send for water purveyors. This is an extra layer of automation to ensure properties and devices are notified of a Failed device and/or a 3rd notification giving them additional notice to get their devices tested. Automating additional notices gives you, the water purveyor, more time to perform other activities for your department instead of administrative mailing tasks. 

By utilizing BSI Online to automatically generate all your additional notices, you will have more time to focus on non-compliant devices and/or properties. Automating the additional notices can free up your time to field verify the information in the tracking solution, examine those failed assemblies in person, and connect with final notice properties regarding the importance of ensuring their backflow is tested on time.  

FOG Data Management 

The EPA suggests a program be in place to help prevent the introduction of pollutants into a POTW that will interfere with operation, pass through the wastewater treatment plants and improve water conditions for communities. Utilizing BSI’s FOG data management program includes a multitude of features to help protect your wastewater system: 

  • Inventory 

BSI will streamline your FOG processes, making your program much more efficient. Simply provide BSI with an initial inventory of your FSE’s (Food Service Establishment) and their grease trap/interceptors.  

  • Notifications 

BSI will send a notification to FSE’s informing them of the hauling schedule for the year. These notifications are customizable with your logo and text, based on your requirements or code. Depending on your need, more notifications can be sent for an additional cost.  

  • Online Hauling Manifests 

No more receiving reports on paper! FSE’s or haulers can enter our site to log the manifest information electronically. We will never purge your data, so you can always view hauling manifests on your FOG portal for any address in your inventory.  

  • Access 

This includes personalized, secure, multi-user access to all hauling manifests with real-time data. Once logged in, the user can search, sort, and export any data into an Excel file. Non-compliant facilities can also be viewed in real-time.
