If yes to ANY of the above questions, we may contact you for further information. Furthermore, the following items will be enforced without exception:
- Irrigation systems require a minimum protection of a double check valve; the other items may require a higher level of backflow protection. Contact PLC for specific requirements.
- The assembly can be installed by the property/home-owner, a contractor or plumber. PLC also provides this service. A state certified plumber must install an assembly inside the home.
- The assembly must meet all AWWA & State standards and appear on the most recent WSDOH List of Approved Assemblies. You may contact PLC or WSDOH at 1-800-525-2536 for a list of approved assemblies.
- Assemblies shall be tested by a State certified BAT immediately after installation, relocation or repair and annually thereafter. All results shall be reported to the Water Department within 15 days.
- PLC has certified BATs or you may use an outside (i.e. contractor) certified BAT.
- The cost of installation, relocation, annual inspections and repairs is borne by the property/home-owner.
After the survey is returned, homeowner understands that PLC may conduct an on-site inspection of the property and/or building for cross connection possibilities. If a cross connection is discovered, PLC will require the installation of a State-approved backflow assembly.
