What to check for McKinney

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

  • Due basis: McKinney's public materials focus on process more than a consumer-friendly cadence. BPATs must register with the City, use City-specific forms, and submit signed original test results through the Public Works recordkeeping process. Irrigation work runs through the CSS permitting and inspection portal, and fireline testing has a separate City registration form.
  • Who is affected: Properties and testers operating within McKinney's cross-connection prevention program, including general assemblies, irrigation jobs, and fireline testing workflows.
  • Program phone: 972-547-7362

Use the governing utility workflow

City search demand maps directly to the McKinney backflow program and City-form workflow.

Local signals

Signals that matter before you act

  • Electronic signatures are not accepted.
  • Using the wrong form can break the acceptance workflow even if the assembly was tested.
  • Registration expires with the gauge calibration expiration date, so stale tester credentials can create compliance problems.
Workflow

McKinney workflow order

  1. Register the BPAT with the City of McKinney and pay the registration fee before testing.
  2. Use only City-approved test forms for each assembly tested, and switch to the fireline form set when the scope requires it.
  3. If the project involves irrigation, complete the CSS permit and inspection path alongside the backflow paperwork.
  4. Submit the signed and dated original through the Public Works recordkeeping process by mail or physical drop-off.
  5. Keep registration, calibration, and payment details current so reports are not rejected.

McKinney is a workflow city, not a simple list city: BPAT registration, signed originals, paper forms, CSS irrigation permitting, and separate fireline registration all matter.
