Before scheduling

Notice checklist before you call or file

The strongest local backflow pages answer these questions before the user calls anyone. This utility record keeps the notice clues and acceptance gates together so the next step is not just a generic backflow testing search.

  • Due basis: League City says TCEQ requires backflow devices or assemblies to be tested upon installation and at least once annually, with BSI mailing official annual certification notices and maintaining electronic records.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the CCN, account number, BSI record, device ID, or assembly serial from the reminder.
  • Tester route: View the official tester list
  • Submission path: League City backflow testing program page
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Cost signal: Private testing prices are market-based, but League City publishes a one-time $35 registration fee for each backflow device.

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.
