City of McKinney Cross Connection Prevention fire line backflow rules

McKinney separates fireline testing administratively. Fireline BPATs use a different City registration form than general testers, so the first compliance question is which registration path applies.

Utility: City of McKinney Cross Connection Prevention Last verified: 2026-04-04 Due basis: McKinney's public materials focus on process more than a consumer-friendly cadence. BPATs must register with the City, use City-specific forms, and submit signed original test results through the Public Works recordkeeping process. Irrigation work runs through the CSS permitting and inspection portal, and fireline testing has a separate City registration form.

Highlights

McKinney publishes a dedicated fireline BPAT registration form.
Using the general registration path for a fireline-only scope creates avoidable paperwork risk.
The City still expects the correct test form and signed original once testing is complete.

Workflow

Confirm the assembly should use the fireline registration path rather than the general BPAT path.
Register with the City using the dedicated fireline form when required.
Submit the signed original test report through Public Works after the fireline test is complete.

Residential

Residential owners most often meet McKinney through irrigation permitting and inspection, not through a public approved-tester list.
If the assembly touches a permitted irrigation job, the CSS portal matters before the test report does.

Commercial focus

Commercial and managed properties

Commercial and managed properties should treat McKinney as a document-control city because registration, original signatures, and the right form set all matter.
Fireline and general testing use different City registration documents, so scope mistakes are easy to make.
