Highlights

- Development-phase services cannot leave backflow devices in an unmanaged state.
- The same city approval and testing requirements apply before the utility treats the installation as complete.
Workflow
Workflow
- Start with Anaheim's fireline requirements and utility forms.
- Use a tester and installer that the utility will accept under its cross-connection program.
- Do not treat the fireline device as complete until the city-accepted testing and reporting steps are finished.
Residential
- Anaheim's strongest public language is utility-wide rather than single-family-only, so residential intent usually shows up through irrigation or other protected services.
- The city points users to county certification and approved-tester requirements instead of leaving the workflow generic.
Commercial and managed properties
- Anaheim has real commercial next-action value because it couples annual testing with approved-list and electronic-submission rules.
- The city's standards make fireline and development-phase questions commercially relevant rather than filler.
Tester routing
Use the governing authority's official tester list first, then only treat any sponsor placement as secondary routing.
