  • Due basis: OUC says all residential and commercial backflow prevention devices must be tested annually. Residential testing and maintenance are handled by OUC, while commercial customers may use OUC or their own licensed plumber and still must stay compliant.
  • Who is affected: Residential and commercial OUC customers with actual or potential cross-connections, including irrigation, domestic, and fire-line services near the point of service.
  • Program phone: 407-423-9018

  2. Install or confirm the required device at the point of service.
