What will the city look for during inspection of my sprinkler system?

After installation of the backflow preventer, the city will allow a 24-hour adjustment/line flushing period prior to the appointment for inspection. Please refer to your “Reclaimed Water Customer Orientation” form under “Customer Responsibilities” in your orientation packet to find items that will be checked during the inspection. For more information, call the Water Reclamation Facility Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.
