What to check for Taylor

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

  • Due basis: Taylor says all backflow protection assemblies must be tested upon installation, repair, or relocation and that all backflow assemblies should be tested annually.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the BPAT/tester registration context, Envirotrax record, service address, or assembly identifier.
  • Who is affected: Taylor properties with backflow protection assemblies, irrigation systems, and fire protection sprinkler assemblies.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Program phone: 512-352-3675
