In many cases, state certified backflow testing is used to satisfy local utility or municipal compliance requirements, but permit rules can vary by property type and device location. If your system is connected to the public water supply, the city may require testing records from a certified tester and may also expect any failures to be corrected before the device is approved.

What to check before testing

  • Whether your backflow assembly is listed on your city’s compliance schedule
  • Whether a specific form or report must be filed after testing
  • Whether repairs or replacement work require a separate permit
