Backflow Prevention Devices

All irrigation systems installed in the Village of Romeoville (residential and commercial) are required to have a backflow device (RPZ Device) as a form of protection to the water system. Backflow devices are also required for fire suppression systems and commercial/industrial users. The property owner or occupant is required to have this device inspected by a certified licensed plumber on an annual basis. In accordance with village ordinance 50.52, within 30 days of the inspection, a copy of the annual certification shall be sent to the Public Works Department. The annual inspection of the backflow device is required even if the system is currently not used. 

The inspection report can be sent in via: mail, fax or email:
