New State Backflow Inspection Requirements

Louisiana laws now require Annual Testing and Reporting by 12/1/24.

Louisiana laws and regulations require customers with a backflow prevention device to have the system tested and inspected once a year. The inspection must be completed by a service provider certified to perform this type of work.

Customers who fail to submit a passed inspection within the past 12 months may have their water service turned off until a passed inspection is received.

Backflow Prevention Program:
In accordance with Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regulations, Baton Rouge Water Company, Parish Water Company, Ascension Water Company, and Ascension Consolidated Utilities District #2 manage a Backflow Prevention Program. This program protects the public water supply by preventing cross-contamination from backflow.
