What to check for Taylor

Taylor gives specific irrigation guidance: TCEQ requires a licensed BPA tester to check the BPA when installed on an irrigation system, and local rules may require annual testing.

  • 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
