  • Stayton customers who have cross connections at their residence or business are responsible for preventing contaminants from entering the public water system through their individual plumbing system by installing and maintaining approved backflow prevention assemblies. These assemblies are required to be tested on an annual basis. 

    Completed assembly test reports can be submitted to: backflow@staytonoregon.gov

    To learn more about cross connection and backflow prevention, you can visit the State of Oregon's website.
