  • Who is affected: Tempe customers with contained cross-connection hazards, including irrigation, fire-line, multifamily, commercial, and other assemblies tracked by the Water Utilities Division.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the governing tester route and the utility's submission method; confirm status before scheduling.
