Backflow inspection and testing in Los Angeles
Downtown buildings with older fire sprinkler systems are worth re-checking against LADWP's updated cross-connection requirements.
What is true about Los Angeles
- Starting July 1, 2025, LADWP applies updated cross-connection requirements to commercial and residential fire sprinkler systems, which can mean mandatory assemblies or retrofits.
- Downtown Los Angeles, the Fashion District and the Arts District mix 1920s-era warehouses, converted lofts and new towers on very different plumbing.
- LADWP can disconnect water service if a required assembly is not installed, tested and maintained, so testing is not optional.
