What to check for Anaheim

Anaheim's utility standards and required-forms index show that proposed fireline work sits inside the backflow compliance workflow rather than outside it.

  • Due basis: 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.
  • Who is affected: Water users at locations where Anaheim requires a backflow prevention device, especially commercial, multi-family, irrigation, and fireline-related services.
  • Program phone: 714-765-4173
Local signals

Signals that matter before you act

  • Anaheim maintains required forms for proposed fireline backflow devices.
  • Development-phase services cannot leave backflow devices in an unmanaged state.
  • The same city approval and testing requirements apply before the utility treats the installation as complete.
Workflow

Anaheim workflow order

  1. Start with Anaheim's fireline requirements and utility forms.
  2. Use a tester and installer that the utility will accept under its cross-connection program.
  3. Do not treat the fireline device as complete until the city-accepted testing and reporting steps are finished.
