Rainbow approves testing contract with Palomar Backflow

The Rainbow Municipal Water District approved a contract with Palomar Backflow to test Rainbow's backflow devices.

Helene Brazier could not participate in the Oct. 27 board meeting, but the other four board members all voted to approve the professional services agreement with Palomar Backflow. The Escondido company will be paid $75 per backflow tested, and the board approval has a total contract limit of $140,000.

"A lot of our staff is busy with our meter exchange program, so we just need a little extra help to make sure we complete our backflow testing on time," said Rainbow general manager...
