Backflow testing & repair in Lakewood
Lakewood is different. Lakewood Water District runs a coordinated testing program through a contracted testing company at a set per-assembly charge. If you’re in that program, your annual test is already covered. Where we come in is everything around it.
Good to know
Already in the District’s program?
Lakewood Water District contracts with a testing company to test enrolled customers’ assemblies at a set per-assembly charge. If that’s you, you don’t need to hire a separate tester for your annual test. Call us for repairs, failed-test rebuilds, new-installation tests, or properties outside the program.

Repairs after a failed test
