Step 2: Install hardware and make sure backflow testing is up to date

Irrigation hardware must be installed at the property where you have your water account.

Annual backflow testing must be up to date to get a rebate. You must have a testable backflow protection assembly with up-to-date backflow inspection results from within the past year. Backflow assemblies are required to be installed on the water service connections to all landscape sprinkler systems. Backflow assemblies must be tested annually by a state-certified backflow assembly tester.
