What to check for Prescott

Prescott's standards treat fire-protection connections as part of the backflow containment program rather than as a separate afterthought.

  • Due basis: Prescott says all required backflow devices must be tested at installation and every year after that. The city requires customers to use one of Prescott's approved assembly testers and routes reports back to the Water Protection Office.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
  • Who is affected: Prescott water customers with required containment assemblies, including irrigation, commercial, multifamily, and fire-protection connections.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the governing tester route and the utility's submission method; confirm status before scheduling.
  • Program phone: 928-777-1471
