SACWSD rules require backflow assemblies that CDPHE requires to be controlled, including irrigation assemblies, to be tested by a certified technician by Aug. 31 each year, with reports sent to the District (backflowreports@sacwsd.org); the District's backflow page describes annual testing as a requirement for commercial customers.
