GP Single-Family Dwelling Backflow Testing Begins on Monday, July 7th
The City of Grants Pass will commence backflow testing on Monday for residential customers who participate in the City's backflow testing program.
City contractor Precision Backflow employees will be wearing safety vests with "Precision Backflow" written on it and possess a City-issued photo ID badge.
The Grants Pass Residential Backflow Testing Program -- established in 2004 -- provides for the automatic annual testing and repair of backflow assemblies.
Each year from April 1st through November 15th, the residential backflow program contractor performs the annual tests. Repairs and maintenance are performed as needed. Single-family dwellings are charged an additional $2 per month on their water bill to pay for this service.
This testing should run for several weeks. The contractor should produce their ID badge when asked by a customer. If they do not produce a badge, participants do not need to let them access their properties. Their work van should be close by.
If customers receive a notice on their front door, the City requests they call Precision Backflow at (541)-916-5253. If customers have any questions or issues, please call the Grants Pass Distribution Department at (541)-450-6134.
