Frequently asked questions
How often is backflow testing required in Rancho Santa Margarita?
In Rancho Santa Margarita, backflow prevention assemblies are typically required to be tested and certified annually by a licensed backflow tester.
What is the difference between an RPZ and a PVB?

What happens if my backflow device fails its annual test?
If your backflow device fails its annual test, it will need to be repaired or replaced by a certified technician, and then retested to ensure it is functioning correctly and in compliance with Rancho Santa Margarita regulations.
