Who is responsible for the installation and maintenance of backwater valves? Property owners are responsible for the installation and maintenance of backwater valves. Backwater valves that meet the requirements of Section 710.1 of the California Plumbing code are required when an addition, alteration, or repair is made to a plumbing system or fixture in which a permit is required or when the work value exceeds $1000. If you think you might need a backwater valve, or if you have questions about locating or checking the device, the City encourages you to contact a licensed plumber who can evaluate your situation and, if necessary, install a backwater valve.
