U.S. WATER-SYSTEM PLANNING TOOL

Commercial backflow testing portfolio planner

Build a device inventory, budget a testing visit and prepare an itemised request for certified local testers.

DEVICE INVENTORY

Plan the test visit around the assemblies you actually have.

Backflow inventory & RFQ sheet

For each device record: location, make/model, size, serial/asset ID, water use, last report date, due notice, access constraints and utility submission route. Ask each provider to separate testing, filing, repairs, permits and device replacement.

Local utility rules control the actual requirement

EPA supports cross-connection control and backflow prevention programmes, but utilities and jurisdictions determine required test frequencies, tester credentials and filing procedures. This free result is a planning aid, not a compliance finding.
