San Diego DMA · the landscape assembly
Irrigation backflow testing
A backflow assembly on irrigation exists so fertilizer, standing water, and pump pressure do not reverse into the potable line. Many HOAs and commercial landscapes in this county get a yearly notice just for those valves. Request a test. This page does not run a landscape route.
Where they hide
Behind a hedge, in a green cage, in a vault at the parkway. Write the nearest cross-street and whether the landscaper has the key. Do not put the key in the form.
If the controller is off for drought rules, say whether the device still has to be tested. The notice, not this website, answers that.
PVB, DC, and RP on irrigation
Pressure vacuum breakers sit higher on some residential and small commercial systems. Double-checks and RPZs show up on larger landscapes. The tag on the device is better than a guess.
A tester who only wants “easy PVBs” may decline a vaulted RPZ. That is their radius, not a judgment from this page.
Typical cost — not a bid
One irrigation device is often $75–$175 to test. An HOA with several cages is a per-device visit. A failed irrigation RPZ rebuild is commonly a few hundred dollars. Replacing a valve in a collapsed box is more because of the box, not the brass.
Typical. Not a quote.
Not a plumbing emergency page
A broken irrigation main is a different call. This form is for scheduled testing and for failed-test repair, not a geyser in the parkway. If water is off or a pipe is open, call a plumber directly.
