Property and connection types
Who Needs Backflow Testing in Buckeye?
The City of Buckeye bases protection on the service connection and cross-connection hazard—not simply the name of the business or property.
Categories named by the city
Connections commonly requiring protection
Commercial
Retail, office, restaurant, medical, school, institutional, and similar uses may fall within commercial requirements depending on the connection.
Industrial
Industrial connections can present process-related hazards and are identified for reduced-pressure protection.
Dedicated irrigation
Dedicated landscape-irrigation connections are specifically identified by the city.
Engineered fire lines
An approved double-check assembly may be appropriate for certain engineered fire-line systems.
Other cross-connections
The city may require protection wherever an actual or potential contamination risk exists.
Examples are not determinations. A business type does not, by itself, prove which device is required. Ask the city about the actual account and connection.
Situations worth checking
- Separate irrigation meter or dedicated landscape service
- Fire-sprinkler or private fire-line connection
- Boiler, chemical feed, commercial kitchen, medical, laboratory, or process equipment
- Pool, clubhouse, maintenance shop, or common-area water
- Auxiliary water source or pumping equipment
- Existing assembly shown in city records or on an annual notice
Some single-family properties may also have a regulated connection or hazard. Conversely, not every feature automatically requires the same assembly.
