1. Scope & Authority
Rosemead is served by various water providers, such as Amarillo Mutual Water, California American Water, and San Gabriel Valley Water Company. Each provider enforces cross‑connection control and backflow prevention under Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations and the State Water Resources Control Board’s Cross‑Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH).
2. Responsibilities of Property Owners
Installation & Maintenance: Property owners must install and maintain approved backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) at any service connections deemed a cross-connection hazard by their water provider.
Annual Testing: BPAs must be tested at least once per year by a tester certified by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Repairs & Replacements: If a device fails testing, it must be immediately repaired or replaced. Water service may be suspended until compliance is confirmed.

BPAs are required at locations that pose real or potential cross-connection hazards, which commonly include:
Irrigation systems (especially those using fertilizer injectors)
Swimming pools
Fire sprinkler systems
Systems using auxiliary water sources (such as wells or cisterns)
