USC FCCCHR Backflow Testing

Most people think of conservation as using less water — but protecting the water we already have is just as important. A single backflow incident can waste thousands of gallons and require extensive flushing of the system.

Backflow testing helps communities conserve water by:

• Preventing contamination that requires large‑scale flushing

• Ensuring irrigation systems don’t pull contaminants into potable lines

• Keeping reclaimed, industrial, or stagnant water from mixing with drinking water

• Maintaining system efficiency during drought restrictions

Even in drought conditions, every drop saved matters.

Our Role in Community Water Safety

Property owners are responsible for ensuring their backflow assemblies are tested annually. This simple test:

• Protects the city’s water supply

• Supports long‑term water conservation efforts

A properly functioning backflow device is one of the most effective ways to safeguard clean water; even during drought emergencies.
