  • Tester route: Confirm tester status with the utility before scheduling.
  • Submission path: Buena Park backflow reporting page

Owner vs tester

Know who has to act

Property owner Match the notice, address, device type, due date, and utility record before hiring or approving work.
Tester Confirm certification, registration, gauge calibration, and the required submission portal before filing the report.

This split matters because many utility pages reject reports when the tester, credentials, portal entry, or fee path is wrong.
