 Dear Union Hill Water Association Member:

Spring is just around the corner and many customers are having their sprinkler systems activated.  Our records indicate that there is an underground sprinkler/irrigation system   on your property.  

Washington State Department of Health (WA 246-290-490) requires by law, that all these systems must be equipped with an approved backflow device.  The backflow device must be tested annually to prevent possible cross contamination of your drinking water.  

We are asking that you have your backflow device tested with results submitted to our office no later than June 1, 2008.   The Association will be begin water shut off procedures to all customers who have not complied with the above mentioned Health Department requirements by June 1, 2008.  

A list of certified testers is printed on the back of this letter for you convenience, however, you may contact any qualified tester of your choice.  If you do not use a tester off the enclosed list, please ask them to submit their BAT (Backflow Assembly Tester) Certificate Number and their Certificate of Calibration when they send your testing results to our office.   You may also wish to verify they have liability insurance and a business license.   

Test results may be mailed to:             Union Hill Water Association
                                                            PO Box 745
                                                            Redmond , WA . 98073
