Ventura County Regulations indicate all commercial backflow prevention assemblies shall be tested at the time of installation, repair, or relocation, and then tested at least annually.

Not just any plumber can perform these tests and certify the backflow prevention device.

All commercial Ventura County buildings have preventative backflow assemblies, from large to small businesses in stand-a-lone buildings. Even if the business location holds several buildings on the same property, each building that has running water will have its own backflow assembly that will require annual backflow testing to prevent contamination of the city drinking water. 

Ventura County relies on three local water sources, The Ventura River, Lake Casitas, and local groundwater wells. We also use reclaimed water from Ventura Water Reclamation Facility & two municipal golf courses. This is why it’s very important that the water is not contaminated from any commercial source. This is one reason why annual testing of preventative backflow assemblies are required.
