The city term helps discovery. The governing utility still decides the rule, submission method, tester route, and follow-up order.
Anaheim annual backflow testing
Immediately after installation, relocation, or repair, and at least annually thereafter Anaheim says backflow prevention devices must be tested annually, and repaired and retested if defective. The annual tests must be performed by an Orange County Health Care Agency certified tester carrying a valid City of Anaheim business license.
