What to check for Mesa

Mesa keeps separate resources for fire contractors, which makes the fire-line path stronger than a generic annual-testing page.

  • Due basis: Mesa sends annual notices to regulated customers, requires recognized testers to submit results through the backflow portal within seven days of service, and requires immediate retesting after repair or maintenance.
  • Who is affected: Commercial, industrial, irrigation, fire-sprinkler, and dedicated-landscape-meter customers, plus residential sites that city code and plumbing rules identify as cross-connection hazards.
  • Program phone: 480-644-6462
Local signals

Signals that matter before you act

  • Most fire sprinkler systems are listed as covered cross-connections.
  • Mesa distinguishes general testers from fire-contractor resources.
  • The annual testing and portal reporting discipline still applies.
