A practical roadmap for water utilities standing up — or modernizing — a compliant backflow prevention program.
Compile every backflow device in your service area — location, type, size, install date, and current test status.
Formalize the requirement for testable backflow prevention on hazard-classified connections.
Assess each connection for degree of hazard and match to the appropriate assembly type.
Maintain an approved tester list — state-certified professionals with valid gauge calibrations.
Send the initial and annual notifications with clear deadlines and consequences for non-compliance.
Move testers off paper forms — mobile submissions capture results at the device with time, location, and signatures.
Centralize test results, pass/fail history, and repair records so state and regulatory reporting is a click, not a scramble.
Automate late notices, escalation triggers, and service shut-offs for repeat non-compliance.
