  • View the official tester list
After filing

Keep acceptance proof

  • Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.

Workflow

San Antonio workflow order

  1. Match the utility notice to the service address, device or assembly record, and due date.
  2. Confirm the tester is accepted through the governing tester-list or approval route before the report is filed.
  3. File the result through the stored submission path: SAWS backflow prevention program, BSI customer portal, BSI submission portal.
  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.
