What to check for Sacramento

Sacramento irrigation demand fits because the city and county keep cross-connection control tied to real service boundaries and registered testers.

  • Due basis: Sacramento's city and county cross-connection workflow uses approved tester lists and a county portal for registered testers and electronic test entry. The city's water certification language applies up to the property line, backflow preventer, or water meter.
  • Who is affected: City of Sacramento water customers and protected services that must stay inside Sacramento's cross-connection control and registered tester workflow.
  • Program phone: 916-808-5454
