What to check for Anaheim

Anaheim's published irrigation standards explicitly require backflow protection to keep irrigation systems from contaminating the public water supply.

  • 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.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the SwiftComply or C3Swift account, device, address, or notice record.
  • Who is affected: Water users at locations where Anaheim requires a backflow prevention device, especially commercial, multi-family, irrigation, and fireline-related services.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Report workflow: Anaheim SwiftComply electronic report submission
  • Credential gate: Orange County Health Care Agency tester certification, City of Anaheim business license, Anaheim approved tester status, SwiftComply tester registration
  • Program phone: 714-765-4173
