Backflow prevention assemblies installed shall be inspected and tested:

A. At the time of initial installation;

B. Annually after initial installation;

C. After the device is repaired;

D. After the device is moved, relocated, or reinstated; and

E. More often if tests indicate repeated failures.

The city shall provide 30-day advance notification to the property owner of the required annual test of the backflow prevention assembly. Failure of the city to provide notification shall not effect the property owner’s duty to obtain testing under this section. The property owner may have such test performed by any person certified by the Washington State Department of Health, and the results shall be delivered to the city on a form prescribed by the city. If such test is not performed within the time required herein, the city may initiate proceedings for termination of water service.

The property owner shall be responsible for the repair, overhaul or replacement of backflow prevention assemblies as required by the city whenever they are found to be defective within a time period as required by the city. (Ord. 2090 § 1 (Exh. A), 2012; Ord. 1634 § 1, 1996).
