Regulations for Backflow Prevention

Another important part of maintaining a safe water supply and delivery system is to prevent contaminants from entering the system at the point of delivery. In order to comply with City of Phoenix Ordinance No. 708 Rules and Regulations for Backflow Prevention, in compliance with OAR (Oregon Administrative Rules) Chapter 333-61-070, if there is a cross connection on your property, such as a sprinkler system, a backflow prevention device must be installed and tested annually by a certified tester to prevent unpotable water from entering the household and City water supply.
