What to check for Tucson

Tucson's reclaimed-water and gray-water materials make irrigation protection a real local topic, not filler content.

  • Due basis: Tucson Water requires annual testing and can issue a four-day shutoff notice if the compliance date passes without the required test results. Registered testers submit through the iBAK system.
  • 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 and multifamily customers, reclaimed-water users, irrigation users with protected connections, and any Tucson Water customer that the utility flags as requiring backflow protection.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Program phone: 520-791-2650
