Twin Cities Vacuum Breaker Test
Schedule your vacuum breaker test - it's the law!
Starting January 2016, if you have an irrigation system, the Minnesota plumbing code requires that your Pressure Vacuum Breaker be tested. This law requires that all testable backflow prevention assemblies be tested, maintained and removed in accordance with section 603.5.23 of the plumbing code.
That’s bad news.
The Good News?
Conserva Irrigation’s licensed professional irrigation professionals will come and test your vacuum breaker. Call (763) 401-7313.
In accordance with the new law, a test and inspection tag shall be affixed to the testable backflow prevention assembly. The tester will need to date and sign the tag and include the tester’s backflow prevention tester certification number.
