"If I install my RPZ outside, it will freeze!"

❄️ Protect Your RPZ Assembly from Freezing! 🌨️

When temperatures drop, it's crucial to winterize your RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) assembly to prevent freezing and costly damage. Follow these tips:

1️⃣ Insulate the Assembly: Use pipe insulation wraps or insulated covers specifically designed for backflow devices.

2️⃣ Drain the Water: Shut off the water supply to the irrigation system and drain the RPZ completely to remove standing water.

3️⃣ Cover and Secure: Install an insulated cover around the RPZ to shield it from cold air and moisture.

🚨 Important: A damaged RPZ can lead to water contamination or costly repairs. Preparing now saves you time and money later!
💧 Why Does an RPZ Need to Be Elevated? 🚰 To 💧 Why Does an RPZ Need to Be Elevated? 🚰

To keep your drinking water safe, an RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone assembly) must be installed 12 inches above ground and never in crawl spaces or pits. Here's why:

✅ Prevents Contamination: Elevating the RPZ ensures water flows properly and prevents contaminants from entering the system, even if backflow occurs.

✅ Access for Maintenance: Regular testing and maintenance are critical. An above-ground installation allows technicians to inspect, repair, and test the device without restrictions.

✅ Avoids Flooding Hazards: Crawl spaces or pits can flood, submerging the RPZ. This compromises its functionality and can lead to contamination.

⚠️ Remember: Incorrect installation not only risks your water quality but may also violate plumbing codes. Protect your home and community by ensuring your RPZ is properly installed and maintained.
Summit Water Distribution is requiring all shareho Summit Water Distribution is requiring all shareholders to replace DCV assemblies on irrigation systems with RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) assemblies by May 2026.

This change aligns with Utah’s Cross-Connection code and the International Plumbing Code (608.17.5), which requires enhanced backflow protection for potable water supplies connected to irrigation systems.

🌿 Why RPZ Protects You More than DCV:
1️⃣ RPZ assemblies are designed to block both backpressure and backsiphonage, offering maximum protection against high-risk contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste, or stagnant water.
2️⃣ An RPZ has a relief valve that immediately discharges water if pressure fluctuations or failures occur, ensuring contaminants never reach your potable water.
3️⃣Utah plumbing code (IPC 608.17.5) mandates RPZs for systems where chemicals are introduced or high hazards exist, ensuring you meet legal requirements.

💡 By upgrading to RPZ assemblies, you're not only complying with regulations but also protecting you and your family AND our shared water system.

Spring Alert: Check for Irrigation Leaks! 💧🌱

As you turn on your irrigation system for the season, leaks may pop up and need attention. If you recently received an email alert about a potential leak, here’s how to troubleshoot:

1️⃣ Determine the Leak Location:

Locate the valve on your irrigation supply pipe near your water meter.

Turn it off and wait 24 hours.

2️⃣ Watch for Updates:

If you receive an alert notification that the leak stopped, the leak is in your irrigation line. It may take up to 24 hours to receive the next alert.

You can also check the digital read on your transmitter (located on top of the water meter), take note of the read and check back after 30 to 60 minutes (make sure no water is running during this time). If the read DID NOT change, then the leak is in the irrigation line.

🚰 Stay Water-Wise:
Fixing leaks quickly helps conserve water and saves you from higher bills!
