The primary objective of the cross-connection control/backflow prevention program is to protect our public potable water system from possible contamination. Protection is accomplished by requiring the installation of an approved backflow prevention assembly.

A fire flow test provides pressure and flow data at specific fire hydrants within the District’s distribution system. The data is used to assess the pressure and flow available for fire protection, sprinkler system design, mainline design, and proper sizing of domestic and/or fire service lines.

A flow test involves two fire hydrants: Flowing & Residual. The first hydrant is the flow hydrant, which is located closest to the property being tested. The second hydrant is the test (residual) hydrant and is located directly upstream or downstream from the flow hydrant. Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks for review of requests.

The purpose of these requirements is to help prevent blockages of sewer lines resulting from discharges of fats, oils and grease (“FOG”) to the sewer system, and to specify appropriate “FOG” discharge requirements for Food Service Establishments.

For existing FOG device administration, or for new businesses and will-serve requirements related to FOG contact the District’s Principal Engineer Sheldon Yu at (949) 425-3515 or at syu@mnwd.com
