Submission packet

What the report needs before it can count

Use this as the working checklist for the owner, tester, or property manager before treating a passed field test as a completed compliance cycle.

Before filing

Match the notice record

  • Look for the WEIRS route, service address, tester record, or assembly identifier.
  • Service address, device type, due date, and utility name must match the notice.
  • Use the utility workflow before relying on a generic tester search.
Filing gate

Confirm the accepted route

  • Austin Water cross-connection program (program page)
  • Austin backflow tester information (tester requirements)
  • WEIRS database (submission portal)
  • View the official tester list
After filing

Keep acceptance proof

  • Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Keep portal confirmation, email receipt, account history, or accepted report record.
  • If the assembly failed, use the failed-test workflow before assuming the case is closed.
Failed-test workflow
Workflow

Austin workflow order

  1. Match the utility notice to the service address, device or assembly record, and due date.
  2. Confirm the tester is accepted through the governing tester-list or approval route before the report is filed.
  3. File the result through the stored submission path: Austin Water cross-connection program, Austin backflow tester information, WEIRS database.
  4. Keep proof that the report was submitted and accepted; a passed field test alone may not close the compliance cycle.
  5. If the assembly failed, follow the repair, retest, and resubmission sequence before assuming compliance is restored.

Does the tester or owner submit the Austin report?

The field tester often controls portal entry, but the owner should keep the notice, due date, and proof that the report was accepted by Austin Water Cross-Connection Control.

Austin is strong on compliance detail and less public on retail pricing, so use the ordinance and WEIRS workflow as the anchor before comparing quotes.
