Rathdrum is on our North Idaho route northwest of Hayden and Post Falls — short drive times from our Spokane / Liberty Lake base, not a special trip. If the City of Rathdrum or your local water system sent an annual backflow test notice, we can usually get you on the calendar the same week.
Homes with irrigation or other cross-connections typically have a testable backflow prevention assembly (often a PVB on the sprinkler line). We complete the certified test on site, walk you through the result, issue a digital certificate, and help file so your purveyor marks you compliant.
Who sends the test notice in Rathdrum?
Your annual notice comes from whichever system supplies your home. In and around Rathdrum that is commonly:
- City of Rathdrum Water Department
- Local Rathdrum-area water / irrigation systems
- Hayden Lake Irrigation District (nearby service)
- City of Post Falls Water Division (nearby)
- Ross Point Water District (nearby)
Growth on the Rathdrum prairie means a lot of newer builds with full irrigation systems and a PVB that shows up on the annual notice. If you just moved in or can’t find the assembly, note what you see when you book — we will locate it on site.
