Backflow Testing & Sprinkler Plumbing in Windsor: what's different here

Windsor homes commonly have irrigation systems with backflow prevention assemblies. Colorado's drinking water rules require water systems to run cross-connection control programs, and many providers require regular testing of these assemblies by a certified tester.

Testing confirms the assembly keeps irrigation water from flowing back into the drinking water supply.

Backflow assemblies also need winterizing: a hard freeze can crack an assembly that wasn't drained, so schedule testing in spring and blowout in fall.

Homes near Windsor Lake and on larger lots may have bigger irrigation systems with more zones and a larger assembly. The tester records the assembly's make, model and serial number, which makes repairs and future tests faster.
