Broward County Water and Wastewater Services Backflow Certification backflow testing requirements
Broward County is a high-value Florida utility because it publishes due-date notices, filing-fee handling, and separate tester qualification rules for domestic, irrigation, and fire-service assemblies.
Next-step paths
Start with the page that matches your situation
This page is the rule hub. Use it to confirm the governing utility workflow, then open the focused page that matches the actual situation on site.
Failed test
Open the failed-test page when the device already failed and you need the repair, retest, and reporting order.
Irrigation
Open the irrigation page when the question is tied to sprinkler systems, reclaimed water, or landscape devices.
Fire line
Open the fire-line page when the backflow assembly serves fire protection equipment or a managed commercial site.
Annual or event-based timing
Commercial, institutional, governmental, taller residential and multifamily buildings, and customers with domestic, irrigation, or fire-related assemblies under Broward's ordinance.
- Annually
- Broward notifies customers 60 days and 30 days before the annual compliance due date and requires passing test results plus filing fees through Backflow Solutions Incorporated.
Non-compliance penalties
Broward expects passing test results and filing-fee payment by the annual due date. The county separates who may work on domestic, irrigation, and fire-related backflows, so the wrong tester path can still leave the account out of compliance.
- Broward uses explicit 60-day and 30-day reminders.
- Domestic, irrigation, and fire-service qualification rules differ.
- Passing results and filing fees move together through the county process.
