What to check for Bedford

Use this page when the assembly already failed and the next step is repair, retest, and accepted report submission.

  • Due basis: Bedford says all backflow assemblies must be tested upon installation, replacement, repair, or relocation, while commercial facilities must have backflow protection assemblies tested annually.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the BPAT/tester registration context, Envirotrax record, service address, or assembly identifier.
  • Who is affected: Bedford commercial facilities, irrigation systems, and any property with a backflow assembly installed, replaced, repaired, or relocated.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Program phone: 817-952-2200
