What happens if I do not test a backflow assembly that I have received a notification to test?

April 3, 2025

If for some reason you do not test your backflow assembly, there are two options:

  1. If the assembly being required to be tested is a plumbing code assembly, the City of Sherwood may require you to install, test and maintain a backflow assembly behind the water meter to protect the public water system.  Fees will be applied.
  2. Your water service may be terminated to protect the public water system.
