Backflow Prevention in a Nutshell
If you do not have a backflow device:
-
Call a plumber licensed to do work in the City of Lafayette and schedule the installation.
-
Obtain a building permit.
-
After the device is installed, contact the Building Department Inspection Request Line at (303) 665-5588 ext. 3335.
Now that the device is installed:
Contact a company qualified to perform backflow testing and repair. These companies are listed at the Backflow Prevention and Education Council of Colorado website (http://bpecc.org/geo_listing.htm).
Ask the backflow tester to send a copy of the test report to the Public Works Department, City of Lafayette, 1290 S. Public Road, Lafayette, CO 80026. They may also fax a copy of the report to us at (303) 665-2153, attention: Jenny Conlon
Next year:
The device must be retested. Prior to the anniversary of your test date, you will receive a reminder notice from the City of Lafayette. Contact a qualified backflow tester and return the test results to the City of Lafayette.
Thank you! You’re doing your part to keep our water clean.
