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

  • 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

After filing

Keep acceptance proof

  • Report acceptance depends on using the named portal or online submission path; keep proof that the report was submitted.

Dallas workflow order

  1. Match the utility notice to the service address, device or assembly record, and due date.
  2. Confirm tester eligibility with the utility or portal before treating the report as accepted.
  3. File the result through the stored submission path: Dallas Water Utilities backflow test reports page, Dallas printable backflow report form.
  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.
