What to check for Irvine

IRWD serves a region where irrigation and landscape systems are a real contamination pathway, so hazard-based irrigation content fits naturally.

  • 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.
  • Who is affected: Residential, commercial, and industrial customers when IRWD determines that the potable system may be exposed to contamination through a backflow condition.
  • Program phone: 949-453-5300
