Norwalk Backflow Testing & Repair

The City of Norwalk has established comprehensive guidelines for backflow prevention and cross-connection control to protect the public water supply. These regulations are based on the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH), adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and aim to prevent backflow, the unwanted reverse flow of water that can introduce pollutants or contaminants into the potable water system.

Additionally, Norwalk property owners must arrange for initial and annual testing by certified testers and submit the test results to the appropriate authorities. Backflow prevention assemblies must be tested by a certified technician immediately after installation. Tests must be conducted by individuals certified by recognized organizations, such as the American Backflow Prevention Association or the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to penalties, including the interruption of water service.
