What is backflow prevention?
Backflow is a reversal of flow in a water system
The backflow prevention program is required by ADEQ
and is designed to protect against system contamination
resulting from a backflow incident.
Backflow Assemblies
Mechanical valve arrangement which is
designed to prevent backflow or the reversal
of flow of water once it has passed through
the valve. There are different types of
backflow prevention assemblies for different
uses and different degrees of hazard.
Backflow Prevention Program
Compliance Monitoring
Oro Valley Water Utility is responsible, through delegated authority
from ADEQ, to ensure compliance on all backflow assemblies (BFAs) in
both water systems
Cross Connection Control Program is part of the Safe Drinking Water Act
Required authority to enforce program comes from Town's backflow prevention Ordinance
Responsible for compliance of over 1,400 active BFAs in Oro Valley
Water systems
Every BFA must be tested annually by a certified tester
140 Town-owned BFAs are tested, repaired and maintained by water
quality staff
Must maintain compliance records for 3 years on every BFA
Monthly notifications for testing compliance delivered to BFA owners
Survey, permit and inspect every new or replacement BFA
