To ensure our drinking water is of the highest quality, the Forestville Water District requires backflow preventers to be installed by consumers who have potential hazards on their property which have a greater chance of polluting or contaminating our water in case of backflow.
The annual testing requirement of the backflow device is mandated by the California Code of Regulation, Title 17. The test is to be performed by a licensed and certified agency that has been approved by FWD.
