What are the city's backflow prevention assembly requirements?

Backflow prevention devices serve to protect the domestic water supply from contamination from unsanitary sources. Backflow prevention assemblies shall be installed per the Standard Specifications and Details (reference Standard Detail No. 760: Backflow Prevention Assembly). Backflow Prevention Assembly Model must be on State Department of Health's current approved list. You will need to contact a certified backflow prevention assembly tester to perform the necessary work. Although the City of Woodland will not recommend one firm over another to perform the work, there are several approved firms who are willing to provide this service. Please feel free to contact the City of Woodland, Public Works Municipal Service Center at 530-661-5692 for more information about these companies.
