  • Due basis: IRWD says customers will be notified when a backflow assembly is required and points them to a partial list of certified testers who can perform testing in the district.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
  • Who is affected: Residential, commercial, and industrial customers when IRWD determines that the potable system may be exposed to contamination through a backflow condition.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the governing tester route and the utility's submission method; confirm status before scheduling.
  • Report workflow: IRWD backflow prevention assembly test and maintenance report form
  • Credential gate: Orange County Health Care Agency-approved backflow assembly tester status, Certified tester listing or equivalent certification, IRWD test and maintenance report form

What costs or fees should I expect for Irvine?
