Riverside Chlorination Service
California Backflow & Chlorination provides professional Riverside chlorination service for water mains, pipelines, and storage tanks throughout Riverside County and the Inland Empire.
How We Disinfect a New or Repaired Waterline in Riverside County
Any new water main, service lateral, or repaired section of existing pipe in Riverside County must be disinfected before it is placed back into service. We isolate the section, introduce chlorine to the concentration specified by AWWA C651, and hold for the required contact time so the entire interior surface is treated.
Once the hold time is met, we dechlorinate to neutralize residual before discharge, flush the line with potable water, and coordinate bacteriological sampling through our state-certified laboratory partner so your Inland Empire purveyor has everything needed to clear the line for service.
What Our Riverside Chlorination Service Covers
AWWA C651 Chlorination
Chlorine is introduced at the specified concentration and held for the required contact time across the full length of main or service line.
Dechlorination & Neutralization
Residual chlorine is neutralized before discharge so disposal meets local and state discharge requirements throughout Riverside County and the Inland Empire.
Flushing & Flow Testing
Lines are flushed with potable water until chlorine residual and turbidity fall within acceptable range before sampling begins.
Bacteriological Sampling
Coordinated collection and chain of custody through our state-certified lab partner confirms the line is safe before release.
