2️⃣ Secure an Installer 🛠️
With multiple water companies in the area requiring RPZ installations, contractors will get booked quickly. Getting on their schedule now ensures you won’t be left waiting.

3️⃣ Stay Ahead of the Rush 🚀
Proactive homeowners can avoid the last-minute scramble and potential fines for non-compliance. Beat the crowd and enjoy peace of mind.

4️⃣ Protect Your Family and Neighbors 
An RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) assembly ensures safer water for your family and community. Unlike a double-check assembly, which often fails without visible signs, the RPZ provides a more reliable safeguard Keep your water safe—upgrade to the RPZ today!

🌟 Your future self will thank you!
💧 Why Annual Backflow Testing Matters! 🔍 Di 💧 Why Annual Backflow Testing Matters! 🔍

Did you know? Summit Water has always required backflow testing as part of our cross-connection program to protect your water supply. Here's why it feels new:

📝 It's Always Been There: Backflow testing has been part of our water service agreements, website, and water quality reports from the start.

📣 Increased Awareness: Recently, we’ve been required to step up education efforts and ensure testing is being conducted for everyone’s safety.

✅ Protecting Your Water: Regular testing is critical to prevent contamination and maintain a safe, clean water supply for all.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community’s water safe!
💧 Need Help Installing Your RPZ? We've Got You 💧 Need Help Installing Your RPZ? We've Got You Covered! 🚰

Looking to install a new RPZ device? Here's how to find the right company for the job:

🔍 Where to Look:

Most plumbing and sprinkler/irrigation companies can install RPZ devices.

Check out our compiled list of companies here: https://www.summitwater.us/cross-connection/.

💡 Pro Tips:

Get multiple quotes—pricing can vary based on your system.

Not all companies test backflows! If your installer doesn’t, you’ll need to schedule testing with a certified backflow tester.

⏱️ Testing Required: Backflow testing must be completed within 10 days of installation to ensure compliance.

Questions? Reach out—we’re here to help!
🏡 Built to Code? Here's Why Upgrades Matter! 💧

Even if your home was built to code at the time, backflow prevention isn't "grandfathered" in. Why?

🔑 Protecting Everyone's Water: Backflow prevention is critical for safeguarding the public water supply. When new safety standards are established, they apply to all connections to ensure the highest level of protection against contamination.
💧 Not Using Your Irrigation System? Here's What 💧 Not Using Your Irrigation System? Here's What to Do! 🌱

If you no longer use your irrigation system, you may not need to update your backflow device. Here's how to be exempt:

🔧 Cut & Cap the System: Disconnect and cap off your irrigation system completely.

👀 Inspection Required: Once completed, Summit Water will inspect the work to ensure it's properly disconnected.

✅ Stay in Compliance: This process removes the need for a backflow device and keeps your account up to date.

"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.
