All lawn sprinkler systems are required to have a backflow prevention device installed at the connection point to prevent the accidental siphoning of contaminated water back into the public drinking water system. Backflow preventers approved for use with lawn sprinkler systems include either a Double Check Valve Assemble (DCVA), a Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB), or a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ).
The City of Lawrence requires all backflow preventer assemblies be tested annually by a certified backflow tester and that the test results be registered on line. Specific regulations for the program are found at the City of Lawrence web site LawrenceKS.org/Utilities/Backflow.
