Before scheduling in College Station

Check the local rule before treating this as a generic tester search

  • Cadence: Installation testing plus ordinance-driven ongoing reporting
  • Due basis: College Station says backflow prevention devices must be tested on installation, testers must be TCEQ-certified and registered with the City, and original reports must reach Water Services within 30 days of testing per city ordinance.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
  • Submission: College Station drinking water and backflow page
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Cost signal: The City does not publish consumer testing price bands, so retail cost remains market-based.
