Testing cadence

Annual or event-based timing

Commercial, industrial, irrigation, fire sprinkler, and other Greeley services that need a containment backflow prevention assembly.

  • Upon installation and annually thereafter
  • Greeley requires all containment backflow prevention assemblies to be tested upon installation, after repairs or relocation, and annually. The city moved testing notifications and report submission into its Spry Backflow portal.
Penalty exposure

Non-compliance penalties

Greeley treats annual testing as a containment control requirement. Missing the Spry submission cycle or using the wrong tester path keeps the assembly out of compliance with the city's water system program.

  • Greeley uses a real portal workflow instead of phone-only backflow management.
  • The city tester list gives clean local routing.
  • Installation, repair, relocation, and annual cycles are all public.
Compliance workflow

Official workflow

Every focused page on this utility still runs through this authority sequence. Confirm the rule here before you branch into repair, testing, or provider routing.

  1. Identify the Greeley assembly and due date in the portal workflow.
  2. Use a local certified tester from the city's list.
  3. Complete the annual, post-repair, or post-relocation test.
  4. Confirm the result is accepted inside the Spry Backflow submission path.
