Is backflow testing required in Las Vegas?
Yes. The Southern Nevada Water Authority requires annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies for commercial properties, irrigation systems, and any property with a cross-connection risk. Failure to test can result in water service termination.
What is a backflow preventer?
A backflow preventer is a mechanical device that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean drinking water supply. It is required on irrigation systems, commercial properties, fire suppression systems, and anywhere there is a cross-connection risk.
How long does backflow testing take?
A standard backflow test takes 30-60 minutes. We test the device, complete the required documentation, and submit the results to SNWA on your behalf.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?
If your device fails, it must be repaired or replaced before it can be re-tested and certified. Pro Plumbing Las Vegas can repair or replace the device and perform the re-test in the same visit in most cases.
Do I need a backflow preventer on my irrigation system?
Yes. All irrigation systems connected to the public water supply in Las Vegas require a backflow prevention assembly. This is required by both Clark County code and the SNWA.
