Check the local rule before treating this as a generic tester search
- Cadence: Commercial annually; residential irrigation on the JEA residential checkup cycle, generally every two years
- Due basis: JEA runs a two-track system: commercial services are tested annually, while residential irrigation and reclaimed-water protections follow the utility checkup program. Commercial failed tests must be repaired or replaced and retested within 30 days.
- Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
- Submission: JEA qualified backflow testers
- Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the governing tester route and the utility's submission method; confirm status before scheduling.
- Cost signal: Testing is market-priced when the owner chooses a tester, but JEA can bill $35 for a utility-arranged residential test if the owner does not submit results in time.
