Use this page when the assembly already failed and the next step is repair, retest, and accepted report submission.

  • Due basis: Marana says required backflow assemblies must be tested annually by a certified tester registered with Marana Water. Failure to complete the test can lead to disconnection of potable water until a passing test is completed, and failed tests must be repaired or replaced within 7 days.
  • Who is affected: Marana commercial, industrial, multifamily, high-rise, and special residential customers, especially those in areas with non-potable irrigation water from CMID.
