Where should I find approved backflow testers for San Antonio?

Who controls the rule for San Antonio?

San Antonio search demand is routed to San Antonio Water System Backflow Prevention. Properties with connections that can contaminate the public water system and customers requiring external or internal backflow assemblies.

What costs or fees should I expect for San Antonio?
