Stay Compliant Without Missing Deadlines

Annual backflow certification and compliance services that handle testing, documentation, and report submission throughout Southern California

Water districts require annual testing of backflow preventers to confirm the devices are still protecting the public water supply from contamination, and missing your deadline can result in notices, fines, or disconnection of service. In Big Bear City, property owners and managers are responsible for scheduling the test, ensuring the device passes, and submitting the results to the local authority before the due date. Holt Backflow Testing, LLC tracks your testing schedule, performs the required checks, and submits all documentation on your behalf so you do not have to manage the process.

The service includes a certified test of your backflow assembly using calibrated gauges, a detailed report documenting all pressure readings and valve performance, and electronic submission of the results to the water district. You receive a copy of the signed certification form for your records, and the testing date is logged for the following year. If the device does not pass, the tester will explain what repairs are needed and schedule a retest after the work is completed.

If you own or manage a property in Big Bear City with a backflow preventer and need to schedule your annual certification, contact Holt Backflow Testing, LLC to arrange testing before your deadline.

Tracking Schedules and Submitting Reports Automatically

Compliance requires more than just performing the test; the results must be documented correctly and submitted to the water district using the format and procedures they require. In Big Bear City, Holt Backflow Testing, LLC maintains records of your testing history and sends reminders before your due date so you do not miss the window and risk enforcement action.

After testing is complete, you will see the certification form filed electronically with the local authority, and you receive confirmation that the submission was accepted. If the water district requires additional information or if there is a discrepancy in the records, the tester handles the follow-up directly without requiring you to navigate the administrative process.

The service is designed to reduce the administrative burden on property owners and eliminate the risk of non-compliance due to forgotten deadlines or incomplete documentation. If your property has multiple backflow assemblies, each device is tracked separately and tested on its individual schedule to ensure continuous compliance across the entire site.

Compliance concerns property owners need addressed

Managing annual certification requirements and understanding what happens if you miss a deadline helps you avoid fines and service interruptions.

What happens if I miss my annual testing deadline?
The water district will send a notice requiring immediate testing, and continued non-compliance can result in fines, water service suspension, or disconnection. Scheduling before the deadline avoids enforcement action.
How do I know when my test is due?
The due date is typically one year from the last test or installation date, and it is shown on your previous certification report. Holt Backflow Testing, LLC tracks the schedule and sends reminders before the deadline.
What if my backflow preventer fails the annual test?
You will receive documentation showing which valve or component did not meet standards, and repairs must be completed before a passing test can be submitted. The tester coordinates retesting after the repairs are finished.
Why does the water district require annual testing?
Backflow preventers contain mechanical components that wear over time, and annual testing ensures the devices are still functioning correctly and protecting the water supply from contamination.
What documentation do I receive after testing?
You receive a signed certification form that includes the test date, device serial number, tester certification number, and all recorded pressure readings. This form is also submitted to the water district on your behalf.

Holt Backflow Testing, LLC handles all scheduling, testing, and reporting requirements so you can stay compliant without managing deadlines or dealing with the water district. If you are in Big Bear City and need annual certification services, reach out to arrange your next test.
