What to check for Phoenix

Phoenix explicitly separates downstream testing of fire-line backflow devices by assigning that responsibility to the Phoenix Fire Department.

  • Due basis: Phoenix requires certified testers on the city list to perform testing and repairs, and the approved report has to be forwarded to Planning and Development by the due date shown on the work order.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
  • Who is affected: Commercial, industrial, irrigation, and fire-line services plus any residential or multifamily property where Phoenix determines that a cross-connection hazard exists.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the governing tester route and the utility's submission method; confirm status before scheduling.
  • Program phone: 602-534-2140
