How often is backflow testing required?
In California, water providers run cross-connection control programs and typically require backflow prevention assemblies to be tested at least once a year, and after installation or repair. Glendale customers are served by Glendale Water & Power (GWP). Follow the deadline on your notice, and ask the tester to submit the results for you.
Water softener installation
Glendale and much of Los Angeles County have moderately hard to hard water. A softener reduces the scale that shortens the life of water heaters, dishwashers and fixtures. Ask about salt-based versus salt-free conditioners, and any local rules on discharging regenerated water.
Water filtration system installation
Options range from under-sink reverse osmosis for drinking water to whole-house carbon filtration that reduces chlorine and chloramine taste and odor. A plumber can recommend a system based on a water test and your goals.

What happens if I miss my backflow test deadline?
Water providers can issue reminders, fees or, in some cases, suspend service. Schedule the test as soon as you receive the notice.
Do homes need backflow testing?
Homes with dedicated irrigation backflow devices or fire sprinkler connections often do. Most businesses with a backflow assembly must test it every year.
Can a backflow device be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Many failures are fixed with a repair kit (springs, seals, checks). Older or badly damaged assemblies may be cheaper to replace.
